U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that uncertainty remains about the safety of artificial intelligence (AI) and stressed that technology companies should ensure the safety of their products before releasing them to the public.
When asked about the potential harm of artificial intelligence, he said, "It's not certain yet, it's possible." According to him, social media has demonstrated the negative effects that powerful technology can have without appropriate protection measures. “Without safeguards, we are seeing an impact on mental health, self-image and feelings, and hopelessness, especially among younger people.” (Cointelegraph)
