JAKARTA - The President of the United States, Joe Biden, said on Tuesday, June 20 that the risk of artificial intelligence to national security and the economy needs to be addressed. For this reason, he will seek advice from experts.
"My government is committed to protecting the rights and safety of American citizens while maintaining privacy, overcoming bias and disinformation, and ensuring artificial intelligence systems are safe before they are released," Biden said at an event in San Francisco.
Biden met with a group of civil society leaders and advocates who had previously criticized the influence of big tech companies to discuss artificial intelligence.
"I want to hear directly from experts," Biden said, as quoted by Reuters.
Some governments are considering how to reduce the dangers of this developing technology, which has seen increased investment and consumer popularity in recent months following OpenAI's release of ChatGPT.
Biden's meeting on Tuesday involved Tristan Harris, executive director of the Center for Humane Technology, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, Joy Buolamwini, and Stanford University Professor Rob Reich.
Regulators around the world are now working on drafting regulations governing the use of generative artificial intelligence, which can create text and images, and the impact has been compared to the impact of the internet.
Biden also recently discussed the issue of artificial intelligence with other world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, whose government will hold its first global summit on artificial intelligence security this year. Biden is expected to discuss the topic with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the United States.
EU lawmakers agreed last week to make changes to the draft artificial intelligence rules proposed by the European Commission in a bid to set global standards for the technology used on everything from automated factories to autonomous cars and chatbots.
