President Biden Warns of A.I. Overtaking Human Thinking

“Some are very worried that A.I. can actually overtake human thinking and planning. So we’ve got a lot to deal with.”

During a graduation ceremony at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado, President Joe Biden issued a warning about the potential threat of artificial intelligence. He recounted a meeting with leading scientists in the field of A.I. who expressed their concerns to him about the possibility of A.I. surpassing human thinking.

The Growing Concern of A.I.

The topic of A.I. has become increasingly concerning, with developments such as ChatGPT raising alarms. Even the White House press briefing before the graduation ceremony addressed the issue, with a reporter asking National Security Council spokesman John Kirby about a statement from the Center for Artificial Intelligence Security warning of the potential for A.I. to lead to human extinction.

Kirby confirmed that the agency takes the issue seriously and that the president wants to see a strong partnership between the private and public sectors to address both the promise and peril of A.I.

Public Concern

Surveys show that the public shares the concern about the potential threat of A.I. to civilization, with 61% of respondents in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll expressing worry.

However, not everyone is convinced that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are up to the task of handling the issue. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently expressed his lack of trust in their ability to operate an iPhone.

Conclusion

The potential threat of A.I. is a serious issue that requires attention and action. It is important for both the private and public sectors to work together to address the promise and peril of A.I. and ensure that it is developed and used in a responsible and safe manner.
