White House is launching initiative to reduce potential risks of the 'powerful' technology Unpopular VP Kamala Harris is now AI czar under the new action plan
White House has unveiled its plan to crack down on the AI race amid growing concerns it could upend life as we know it.
The Biden Administration said the technology was 'one of the most powerful' of our time, adding: 'But in order to seize the opportunities it presents, we must first mitigate its risks.'
The plan is to launch 25 research institutes across the US that will seek assurance from four companies, including Google, Microsoft and ChatGPT's creator OpenAI, that they will 'participate in a public evaluation.'
The dangers of AI, specifically that it could destroy humanity if an assessment of risk is not done now.
Tech giants like Elon Musk fear AI will soon surpass human intelligence and have independent thinking. This means it would no longer need or listen to humans, allowing it to steal nuclear codes, create pandemics and spark world wars.
Vice President Kamala Harris - who has the lowest approval rating of any VP - will lead the containment effort as 'AI czar' with a budget of just $140 million. For comparison, Space Force has a budget of $30 billion.
Harris met with executives from Google, Microsoft and OpenAI Thursday to discuss how such potential risks can be reduced.
'As I shared today with CEOs of companies at the forefront of American AI innovation, the private sector has an ethical, moral, and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and security of their products,' the White House shared in a statement.
Each company's AI will be tested at a hacker convention in Las Vegas this summer to see if the tech aligns with the administration's 'AI Bill of Rights.'

When the original ELIZA first appeared in the 60’s,
some people actually mistook her for human.
GMTA, gitmo
They will make sense for short sections, but will generally end up being meaningless.
And nobody will pay the ransom.
I’m convinced the Dims will roll out Deep Fakes of both Biden and Harris for this campaign, maybe even Deep Fake holograms for rallies.
A bunch of old me with servants proving once again they don’t actually understand technology at all.
