Joe Biden ‘asks to see’ if artificial intelligence is really not dangerous

Joe Biden asks to make sure that artificial intelligence is not dangerous. It should be able to keep the Americans safe.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached a very impressive level of popularity ever since ChatGPT was born. The conversational robot, capable of generating answers like a human, has sparked a veritable race for innovation, with tech giants and more modest start-ups rushing to come up with competing systems that are more or less reliable, more or less universal. United States President Joe Biden, however, wants them to be careful and make sure their products are safe before releasing them to the public. According to AP and Reuters, the US president met with various science and technology advisers, including scientists and executives from Google and Microsoft, to discuss the “risks and opportunities”of artificial intelligence.

While this meeting won’t exactly lead to a ban on ChatGPT, as happened in Italy, the president doesn’t appear to be entirely convinced that AI is completely safe at this stage. When asked if AI is dangerous, he replied: “That remains to be seen. Maybe.”He told those in attendance: “In my view, technology companies have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products before they go public… AI can help solve some very complex problems like disease or climate change, but we also need to take into account risks to our society, our economy and our national security.”

The White House told news outlets that the president also took the opportunity to discuss “the importance of protecting rights and ensuring security to ensure responsible innovation and safeguards.”He also recalled his previous request to Congress to pass legislation that would protect the privacy of the little ones on the Internet.

This is to keep Americans safe.

No new instructions were adopted, no major changes were planned during this meeting. That being said, Russell Wald of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence told the AP that the president has laid “the groundwork for a national dialogue to raise awareness about AI.”Last year, the Biden administration also unveiled its AI Legal and Legal Framework Plan, an initiative to develop and deploy artificial intelligence and other automated systems in a way that protects “the American public in the age of artificial intelligence.”
