Why US VP Kamala Harris Is Committing $200 Million For AI

In October 2023, US VP Kamala Harris is said to be set to make a commitment of over $200 million from philanthropic foundations to propel the advancement of AI. Why so? It is said that this investment is part of the White House’s broader initiative to steer the rapid development of AI technology. This is said to align with the US President Joseph Biden administration’s objectives of fostering AI innovation, safeguarding consumers and supporting international standards for this nascent field.

There’s said to be an emphasis on initiatives that aim to protect democracy, assist workers in adapting to AI-induced changes and augment transparency in AI applications. US VP Kamala Harris is said to, also, be visiting London to deliver a speech centered on the containment of AI-related dangers. It is said that she would address concerns such as societal harms, bias, discrimination and misinformation. At the same time, US President Joseph Biden is said to have signed an executive order for the regulation of AI. The order is said to empower the federal government to establish security standards and privacy protections for new AI tools.

This directive is said to have an impact on tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon and Google. These companies would be required to submit test results for their new AI models to the government before releasing them to the public. It is also said that the executive order mandates that AI-generated content be appropriately labelled. It seems like there has been an advent of generative AI since late 2022 with OpenAI releasing ChatGPT to the public. This is said to have led to an increased adoption of LLMs that is said to have raised concerns about the potential for these platforms to disseminate misinformation or perpetuate human bias. There were pictures of Donald Trump in handcuffs disseminated on social media, that were fake. AI-generated images of a bombing near the Pentagon, also, created panic, but the pictures were later debunked.
