Kamala Harris probably knows little — or nothing — about AI policy. “AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it's two letters. It means 'artificial intelligence,’” Vice President Kamala Harris explained to labor and civil rights leaders last year.
But if Harris pulls off a victory in November, she would hold a massive influence over America’s AI regulatory approach.
As Biden’s AI czar, Harris has advocated for woke and globalist AI regulations that promote left-wing social causes, curb free speech and stifle innovation, and limit competition — a stark contrast to Trump’s and the RNC’s laissez-faire, conservative, pro-tech AI platform. Though she didn't have much experience on AI policy, Biden still decided that Harris would be the right pick to lead the country’s AI policy — an issue that could give the American economy an edge over China’s.
Last year, Harris held an AI roundtable where she promised civil rights leaders to implement AI policies that address the “legitimate concern…about how racial bias and other types of biases will impact the lives of people because of AI” by “establishing protections knowing that certain people will be targeted based on their socioeconomic status, based on their race, based upon their disability status.”
