- Google, Microsoft, OpenAI among firms meeting vice president
- Popular use of artificial intelligence tools brings scrutiny
Vice President Kamala Harris said the White House would support new regulations or legislation to mitigate the potential harms from artificial intelligence technology after a meeting Thursday with the chief executive officers of Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp., OpenAI Inc., and Anthropic.
Harris called the challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence tools, whose popular use has exploded in recent months, complex and said businesses must work with government to ensure safeguards to protect civil rights and privacy and prevent misinformation or scams.
