WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will meet on Thursday with the CEOs of four major companies developing artificial intelligence as the Biden administration rolls out a set of initiatives meant to ensure the rapidly evolving technology improves lives without putting people’s rights and safety at risk.

The Democratic administration plans to announce an investment of $140 million to establish seven new AI research institutes, administration officials told reporters in previewing the effort.

In addition, the White House Office of Management and Budget is expected to issue guidance in the next few months on how federal agencies can use AI tools. There will also be an independent commitment by top AI developers to participate in a public evaluation of their systems in August at the Las Vegas hacker convention DEF CON.

Harris and administration officials on Thursday plan to discuss the risks they see in current AI development with the CEOs of Alphabet, Anthropic, Microsoft and OpenAI. The government leaders’ message to the companies is that they have a role to play in reducing the risks and that they can work together with the government.

Maybe she thinks it may be a product she can buy — and maybe should, if so.

“Harris” and “intelligence” in the same sentence. [It’s too easy. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.]

The mass media is becoming indistinguishable from the Bee.

Try to imagine what an AI would think of Kamala Harris.

It would be like walking into a garden trying to figure out the best way to stomp on a bug.

...just don’t give them “Agency,” or the ability to control facilities or finances like weapons or money accounts to manage.

A “pause” seems like a VERY good idea. If you doubt this, go watch “Colossus: The Forbin Project,” and the first “Jurassic Park” movies.

Jeff Goldbloom’s character had it right.

“Que mala” Harris does not have that much natural intelligence, what makes anybody think she could deal with an artificial intelligence?

Venn diagrams are supposed to explain everything, but it is most likely that this chart was just thrust into her hands by some subservient lackey.

Why not? She’s clearly an early prototype of AI that failed. They are there to study her -not consult with her!

Artificial or Human, the words Intelligence & Kamala Harris in the same sentence is an Oxymoron.

I’m reassured that our biggest thinkers are on top of this issue. ;-/

The Singularity: (loose definition) That point at which computers become smarter than humans.

The introduction of the game of Pong represented the Singularity for Kacklin' Kamala.

No intelligence going to discuss Artificial Intelligence. Great that should work out well.
