Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, as a recovering computer science major, I am excited about artificial intelligence. AI has moved society forward and will continue to do amazing things in the medical field and many other fields. At the same time, there are potential risks to artificial intelligence, and we need to make sure we can harness the benefits of AI and reduce these risks. That is why I have proposed a national AI commission that is a bipartisan blue ribbon commission that will make recommendations to Congress as to what kinds of AI we should regulate and how we might go about doing so. This legislation is coauthored by Republican Congressman Ken Buck with Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, and on the Senate side it will be carried by Senator Schatz. Mr. Speaker, I urge the Speaker to put this legislation on the floor for a vote. In addition, AI can also destroy the world. We can never ever let AI control nuclear weapons. I have also introduced bipartisan legislation that would prevent AI from ever launching a nuclear weapon by itself. We need to have meaningful human control. Mr. Speaker, I also request the Speaker to allow that bill to be voted on on the floor. ____________________”
