U.S. President Joe Biden will convene a meeting with Silicon Valley’s AI experts to deliberate on the potential hazards, policies, and opportunities tied to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This discussion is set to take place between Biden’s fundraising campaign stops in California.
The assembly of eight experts comprises distinguished AI safety specialists and researchers. Among those are Jim Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media;
Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology; Fei-Fei Li, co-director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI institute; Joy Buolamwini, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League; and Sal Khan, founder of the Khan Institute.
These individuals are esteemed for their strides in areas like education, policy, safety, and harm mitigation.
This meeting, scheduled at 4:00 pm Pacific Standard Time at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, is one in a series of discussions the president is taking part in.
The discourse will be broadcast live on the official White House YouTube channel. Earlier, White House officials have met with CEOs of leading global AI sector companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic.
The U.S. Senate has also recently engaged with AI figureheads such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, IBM chief privacy and trust officer Christina Montgomery, and NYU’s Gary Marcus, to mull over AI policies.
Altman suggested creating a federal regulatory body to monitor the burgeoning AI industry, an idea Marcus seconded, while Montgomery advocated for a more precision-based approach from Congress.
Despite the growing dialogue around AI, the U.S. government has yet to establish a comprehensive strategy for AI regulation. As Europe, China, and the UK take strides towards extensive legislation for AI, the U.S. remains trailing in implementing broad-scale cryptocurrency and AI laws.
The intertwining of AI with the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3 industries makes these regulations even more crucial.
