Description
There has been one issue where substance rather than partisanship has moulded thinking.
Summary
The article highlights a surprising convergence between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris regarding the regulation of artificial intelligence, despite the broader lack of focus on AI in their political campaigns. Both candidates have not prioritized AI in their platforms, but there is a growing public concern that demands government regulation to address issues such as disinformation and privacy violations. This indicates a significant shift towards a need for comprehensive AI policy in the US, setting the stage for the next president to potentially influence AI safety and governance measures. The discussion contributes to AI safety discourse by emphasizing the demand for bipartisan regulatory frameworks to manage AI-driven challenges.

Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump has made much of the technology in their public messaging, and they have not articulated particularly detailed AI platforms. Bots do not seem to rank among the economy, immigration, abortion rights and other issues that can make or break campaigns.But don’t be fooled. Americans are invested, and worried, about the future of artificial intelligence. Polling consistently shows a majority of adults from both major parties support government regulation of AI, and demand for regulation might even be growing. Efforts to curb AI-enabled disinformation, fraud, and privacy violations, as well as to support private-sector innovation, are under way at the state and federal levels. Widespread AI policy is coming, and the next president may well steer its direction for years to come.Loading...AtlanticSaveLog inorSubscribeto save articleShareCopy linkCopiedEmailLinkedInTwitterFacebookCopy linkCopiedShare via...Gift this articleSubscribe to gift this articleGift 5 articles to anyone you choose each month when you subscribe.Subscribe nowAlready a subscriber?LoginFollow the topics, people and companies that matter to you.Find out moreRead MoreUS Votes 2024Donald Trump JrKamala HarrisReviewAIFetching latest articlesOlympic weightlifting is hard.
