THE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING,
EVERYONE.
>>> THERE ARE GROWING CONCERNS
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE AND THE IMPACT IT
COULD HAVE ON ALL OF US.
THAT'S WHY THE CHIEF
EXECUTIVES OF FOUR OF THE TOP
COMPANIES CREATING AI PRODUCTS
ARE BEING CALLED TO THE WHITE
HOUSE FOR A BIG MEETING WITH
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. NBC
NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
ALLIE RAFFA JOINS US NOW WITH
MORE ON THIS.
IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS A LONG
TIME COMING.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME HE CALLED
FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, EVEN
WITHIN THE INDUSTRY.
I KNOW VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA
HARRIS WILL BE MEETING THERE.
WHO IS AT THIS MEETING, AND
WHAT IS IT FOCUSING ON?
>> THIS MEETING IS GOING TO BE
LED BY VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA
HARRIS, AND IT WILL INCLUDE THE
CEOs OF THESE TOP AI COMPANIES LIKE ALPHABET, OPENAI, AND
LIKE ALPHABET, OPENAI, AND
MICROSOFT, ALL COMPANIES WITH
CHAT BOTS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE
LEAD IN THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY
THAT, FRANKLY, IS STILL NEW AND
IN SOME CASES, PRETTY SCARY TO
MOST AMERICANS.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING THIS
IS AN EFFORT NOT NECESSARILY TO
HAVE SOME OUTRIGHT REGULATION
OF THIS INDUSTRY, BUT RATHER,
TO PUT IN PRACTICE THE SAFETY
MEASURES BEFORE THIS IS WIDELY
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. THEY WANT THIS TO BE ETHICALLY
THEY WANT THIS TO BE ETHICALLY
SAFE, PRACTICALLY SAFE BEFORE
MOST AMERICANS HAVE ACCESS TO
IT BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THIS
TECHNOLOGY GROW AND MORE
POPULAR OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
AS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT IN
EDUCATION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE KNOW THAT WRITERS IN
HOLLYWOOD ARE NOW STRIKING TO
LIMIT THE USE OF AI, AND WE SEE
IT IN POLITICS NOW.
WE SAW A 2024 RNC AD RELEASED
SHORTLY AFTER THE PRESIDENT A
PART OF HIS REELECTION
ANNOUNCEMENT, WHICH WAS CREATED
BY THE USE OF AIP THIS IS THE
WHITE HOUSE USING ITS POWER BEHIND THE REGULATION AND
BEHIND THE REGULATION AND
SAFETY OF THIS TECHNOLOGY BEFORE
IT COULD BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD.
>> THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN
WORKING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
IN OCTOBER RELEASE WHAT'S BEING
CALLED A BLUEPRINT FOR AN AI
BILL OF RIGHTS.
TELL US, WHAT IS THAT, AND HOW
IS IT DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER
LEGISLATION ON AI?
>> BARRING ANY SORT OF FEDERAL
LEGISLATION THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE COULD CHAMPION, WHICH HAS
ALREADY BEEN CALLED FOR IN
CONGRESS, THERE'S A FRAMEWORK OF
THE LEGISLATION FLOATING AROUND
CONGRESS RIGHT NOW.
AS YOU MENTIONED, THE WHITE
HOUSE IN OCTOBER RELEASED THIS
BILL OF RIGHTS THAT ESSENTIALLY
LET AMERICANS KNOW WHAT THEY
ARE ENTITLED TO.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE SAFE USE OF
AI, PREVENTION OF
DISCRIMINATION, PRIVACY AND
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN DATA,
BUT TO HELP PUT THOSE PLEDGES
INTO PRACTICE, THE WHITE HOUSE
IS ANNOUNCING OTHER PLEDGES.
THEY ARE SEEING THE USE OF $140 MILLION IN FUNDING IN 70 AI
MILLION IN FUNDING IN 70 AI
RESEARCH INSTITUTES.
THAT WOULD GO THE NUMBER 225 IN
THIS COUNTRY.
IT'S ALSO ANNOUNCING THERE'S
GOING TO BE AN INDEPENDENT
EXERCISE AT THIS HACKER
CONFERENCE IN AUGUST THAT WOUL
, THAT WOULD LET THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION SEE HOW WELL THOSE BULLETS IN THE BILL OF
THOSE BULLETS IN THE BILL OF
RIGHTS ARE BEING USED.
THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND
BUDGET IS ALSO GOING TO RELEASE
A DROP THE SUMMER OF EXACTLY
HOW THE FEDERAL GOLF IS USING
THESE AI EFFORTS AND PRACTICAL ETHICS EFFORTS TO OPEN IT UP
ETHICS EFFORTS TO OPEN IT UP
FOR OPEN, TO SEE HOW AMERICANS
WANT THAT TO BE CHANGED OR
ALTERED IN ANY WAY.
THIS IS ALL AN EFFORT BY THE
WHITE HOUSE TO GET AHEAD OF THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S RAPIDLY
EVOLVING AND ADVANCING THAT,
YEAH, I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING
IT ON THE SHOW.
IT'S AN EFFORT BY THE WHITE
HOUSE TO GET AHEAD OF THAT.
>> SO MUCH GOING ON.
A GOOGLE EXECUTIVE, YOU
MENTIONED ALPHABET, THEY EVEN
STEPPED DOWN LAST WEEK WITH
