Biden Announces New Initiative Dealing With AI But Appoints Incompetent Kamala Harris To The Job

 On Thursday, the Biden White House announced a plan to deal with the potential threats of an artificial intelligence-based future -- and Vice President Kamala Harris will lead the initiative. 

"The Biden-Harris Administration is announcing new actions that will further promote responsible American innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) and protect people’s rights and safety," the White House announced in a statement. "AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time, but in order to seize the opportunities it presents, we must first mitigate its risks. President Biden has been clear that when it comes to AI, we must place people and communities at the center by supporting responsible innovation that serves the public good, while protecting our society, security, and economy."

Then the Biden White House announced Vice President Kamala Harris's role in this new plan. 
"Vice President Harris and senior Administration officials will meet today with CEOs of four American companies at the forefront of AI innovation—Alphabet, Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI—to underscore this responsibility and emphasize the importance of driving responsible, trustworthy, and ethical innovation with safeguards that mitigate risks and potential harms to individuals and our society.," the White House explained.

As a result of these actions, the statement added, "The National Science Foundation is announcing $140 million in funding to launch seven new National AI Research Institutes. This investment will bring the total number of Institutes to 25 across the country, and extend the network of organizations involved into nearly every state." 

As artificial intelligence becomes a greater and greater potential threat, it appears the advancements in the technology have essentially forced Joe Biden's hand -- forcing him to act. But the appointment of Kamala Harris to the task is not a good sign. Her failures at the Southern Border are clear and obvious to anyone who has studied the situation. Simply put, Vice President Harris is not fit to lead an initiative on such a vital topic.
