 Biden Sounds Alarm on AI, Says it Could 'Overtake Human Thinking'

Biden Sounds Alarm on AI


President Biden on Thursday sounded the alarm on artificial intelligence, saying it could "overtake human thinking" and pose a "threat" to humanity.


Speaking at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Biden said he had met with leading AI experts who warned him about the potential dangers of the technology.


"Some are very worried that AI can actually overtake human thinking and planning," Biden said. "So we've got a lot to deal with."


Biden said the United States must take a leading role in shaping the future of AI, and he called for global cooperation on the issue.


"We need to make sure that we are the ones setting the standards," Biden said. "We need to make sure that we are the ones defining the rules of the road."


Biden's comments come amid growing concerns about the potential dangers of AI. In a recent report, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine warned that AI could pose a "threat to humanity" if it is not developed and used responsibly.


The report said that AI could be used to create autonomous weapons systems that could kill without human intervention, or to develop surveillance systems that could track and monitor people's every move.


The report also warned that AI could be used to create new forms of discrimination and social exclusion.


Biden's comments are a sign that he is taking the issue of AI seriously. He is the first president to explicitly warn about the potential dangers of the technology.


It remains to be seen how the Biden administration will address the challenges posed by AI. However, Biden's comments suggest that he is committed to ensuring that the United States plays a leading role in shaping the future of this powerful technology.
