An expert and entrepreneur in the field of artificial intelligence warned that while the new technology has the potential for massive benefits, it could also prove "too powerful and too disruptive" for humanity, expressing doubt about the federal government's ability to address such a challenge.
Kevin Baragona worked as a software engineer but recognized the potential impact of AI, which led him to start DeepAI in 2016 to help bring the new technology to fruition. The free online service is growing rapidly, with users increasing tenfold over the past year.
DeepAI was the first company to offer an online AI text-to-image generator, which allows users to enter a description of the image they would like to create, select a theme and receive a custom image for download.
The platform also provides several other services, such as an AI chatbot, image editor, and other AI-generated content. Baragona has said his goal is to simplify access to AI technology for the broader population and make AI accessible even to those who don't have computers.
**SNIP**
Baragona said regulation could play a part in mitigating risk but didn't express optimism in the ability of policymakers to meet the challenge. When asked whether he had confidence in Washington addressing the issues raised by AI, he responded, "Well, they put Kamala Harris in charge, so not really."
The White House early last month named Vice President Harris as "AI czar" to lead the Biden administration's new initiative "to promote responsible AI innovation that protects Americans' rights and safety."
Harris' appointment has been met by widespread skepticism, with numerous voices questioning her ability to handle the role of AI czar. Twitter owner Elon Musk recently mocked the appointment, tweeting: "Maybe someone who can fix their own WiFi router wouldn't be too much to ask."

The only thing Heels up Harris is qualified for is to look into the prostitution problem in DC!
She is otherwise useless!
It’s common for people to point out that these so-called “AI systems” are not conscious, don’t have personalities, are not smarter than people. But it’s vital to know that none of that matters. The level of decision-tree algorithms we have right now, in 2023, are extremely transformative. They will change everything. Many blue-collar jobs, and many white-collar jobs are going away. And social trends are going to “drift” in unexpected directions because computers nudge them that way. None of this requires super-advanced Skynet computers with “awareness”. What we have right now is transformative enough to change everything.
Breaking news!: Washington announces a breakthrough AI technology that recreates human thought through an algorithm employing Venn diagrams.
Washington DC’s biggest problem is ethics, not intelligence.
Looking in to?
She’s probably part of it
If anybody could profit from artificial intelligence, it’s Harris - heck, assimilation of any form of intelligence, even the kind that gets a lab rat through a maze, would be a significant improvement. Cackle, cackle . . .
Her job is to cripple us technologically by being really stupid... must be one of China’s “suggestions” to Biden.
She’s in place to make sure AI as it develops becomes just another tool in the radical left’s toolbox. Protecting people/citizens/rights? Not a concern in the least.
Can AI help Joe complete a sentence, or walk without stumbling, or trying to shake hands with somebody who is not there?
An AI chatbot would be a vast improvement over both Biden and Harris.
