One of the most popular agenda items of recent times is undoubtedly artificial intelligence. It is obvious that artificial intelligence-assisted technologies, which have begun to integrate into our lives, make everything easier. However, concerns about issues such as privacy, security and workforce bring artificial intelligence technologies into discussion. Moreover, these discussions do not seem to end easily.
While in the shadow of all this, a historic move came from the USA. US President Joe Biden gathered technology giants with a high-level council, which included names such as Vice President Kamala Harris and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Names such as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei attended the meeting on artificial intelligence.
So why did the US government need such a meeting?
The topic of the meeting planned by Joe Biden and his team was, in the simplest terms, on the risks of artificial intelligence. Within the scope of the meeting, White House officials argued that people should be protected in artificial intelligence technologies. In fact, Kamala Harris stated that artificial intelligence has the potential to make human life easier, but it has also become a threat in issues such as security, privacy and civil rights.
Legal fix option is on the table!
One of the points that Harris underlined was legal regulations. The US Vice President states that technology companies are already under legal obligations, including artificial intelligence technologies. Moreover, if the current regulations are insufficient, only legal regulations can be made on artificial intelligence-oriented technologies. Kamala Harris said the current constitution is quite suitable for new regulations.
The parties stand in the same spot!
The name that made statements about the meeting was Open AI CEO Sam Altman. “We surprisingly agree on what should happen.” Using his statements, the businessman stated that technology giants also want to protect users. However, there is no clear explanation about what other parties attending the meeting, such as Microsoft or Google, think about the issue. Artificial intelligence will continue to be the number one agenda item in the coming periods.
