According to a Federal Trade Commission spokesperson, US President Donald Trump’s new government task force on artificial intelligence is set to meet on Thursday as pressure mounts on Washington to address the dangers presented by the quickly developing technology.
At a critical juncture for public perception of AI, the task force is anticipated to assist in shaping the administration’s approach to the technology.
The majority of American citizens want government controls because they believe that Congress and the Trump administration are not taking the hazards associated with AI seriously enough.
