Quote:President Joe Biden released an executive order aimed at regulating the artificial intelligence (AI) industry today, which includes a provision that AI must advance the goals of “civil rights” and “equity” — aka, the left’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework.

The White House says it will sent out guidance to landlords, federal contractors, federal benefits programs and others to reduce the possibility of racial and other biases in their use of AI. There will also be enforcement: the White House fact sheet on the executive order states that there will be “training, technical assistance, and coordination between the Department of Justice and Federal civil rights offices on best practices for investigating and prosecuting civil rights violations related to AI.”

Additionally, the use of AI in the criminal justice system will be a top priority, with plans to develop “best practices on the use of AI in sentencing, parole and probation, pretrial release and detention, risk assessments, surveillance, crime forecasting and predictive policing, and forensic analysis.”

The unspoken fear here is that if AI is allowed to fully analyze certain types of data, such as criminal records and credit ratings, might result in unequal outcomes for the certain groups. This fear is at the heart of the academic field of machine learning fairness, a blend of critical race theory and computer science which Breitbart News has covered exensively before, and which this part of the executive order seems to draw on. The bottom line: in order to avoid violating U.S. civil rights laws, in particular the doctrine of disparate impact, companies using AI may in some cases have to stop them from reaching conclusions that are too accurate.

The executive order contains a number of other priorities. It will require AI companies to use watermarks so that people can distinguish between AI-generated content (particularly images and videos) and non-AI generated content.

It also involves the government in AI safety testing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology will establish standards for safety-testing new AI systems, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will establish a “AI Safety and Security Board” to ensure critical infrastructure sectors meet those safety standards.

The involvement of DHS in the regulation of AI may alarm online freedom campaigners, given the agency’s central role in the censorship and targeting of Americans. DHS sub-agencies have in the past used a cybersecurity pretext to take a leading role in censoring “disinformation,” and created guides for “deradicalizing” conservative Americans.

On the security side, the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security will also “address AI systems’ threats to critical infrastructure, as well as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and cybersecurity risks.” The White House summary also notes that agencies funding life sciences projects will also establish standards on biological synthesis projects, to ensure that AI does not make it easier to engineer dangerous biological materials.

Worker protection is another priority of the executive order, in particular protection from job displacement and surveillance. The White House is vague on how the former will be accomplished, promising “principles and best practices” for employers and “a report on AI’s potential labor-market impacts.”

Perhaps conflicting with the interests of American workers, there is also an immigration component to the executive order. The White House says it will “use existing authorities to expand the ability of highly skilled immigrants and nonimmigrants with expertise in critical areas to study, stay, and work in the United States by modernizing and streamlining visa criteria, interviews, and reviews.”

Privacy is another prong of the executive order. The White House says it will look into how federal agencies and third-party data brokers collect and use “commercially available” information to train their AI systems. The government will aim to prioritize federal support for projects “that let AI systems be trained while preserving the privacy of the training data.”

Juck Foe Biden and the horse he road in on

What kind of dystopian future have we wrought for ourselves??

Biden's Brain Breaks When Speaking About AI, Shows He Has No Idea What He's Talking About

Quote:Joe Biden had a challenging day just handing out Halloween candy to little kids at the White House. He was unable to restrain himself from sniffing one of them, got confused, dropped the candy, and passed on whatever germs he had to the kids when he coughed into his hand and then handed them sweets.

If you thought that was difficult for Biden, imagine him trying to talk about artificial intelligence. I don't know who had the bright idea to have him talk about that subject when he has difficulty talking about normal things, because you know it would be a recipe for trouble. Remember when Vice President Kamala Harris tried it? It didn't go well.

This was his confused effort to explain the importance of AI, which he clearly doesn't understand. I don't know what the teleprompter said, but Joe clearly went off-script.

"I found it when I was turning on my phone and saw that I thought, 'My God, what is this?'" Biden said.

"Science fiction. No, I'm serious. Didn't you have the same thought when you saw it?"

Maybe there is a connection—he often speaks in the confused tongue of an AI story that uses words but doesn't always make a lot of sense.

You can't expect him to make sense of AI if he can't even remember that he's only been abroad one day in the past month.

His one day abroad in October? He went to Israel for a day in the middle of the month.

But he's sure found time to vacation on the beach—regularly. Where he still hasn't been is to East Palestine, Ohio.

But Biden truly showed he was lost when he was talking about controlling AI. That's always the fallback position for Democrats; they want to control everyone and everything, including the things they don't even understand.

Biden had no idea what he was saying here. He just lost badly to the teleprompter:

"American leadership and the undeniable rights endowed by our Creator that no Creator, no creation can take away," Biden said. "Proving once again that America’s strength is not just the power of its example but the example of its power."

What? According to the White House transcript, he reversed "power of its the example" and "example of its power." That sounds like a Freudian slip for Democrats, who are always trying to seize whatever power they can. But the rest of it makes no sense either.

Not that Joe even noticed. This is the mish-mash he has reduced our Declaration of Independence to, and I don't know how they're going to have this guy run in the upcoming presidential election. They're not going to be able to hide him in the basement again, like they did in 2020. Unfortunately for them, now people know. They've seen the embarrassing mess. We are going to vote him out, but he's going to endanger us all until then because Democrats care more about power than their country or their fellow Americans.

AIDEI?


I guess the cat is out of the bag on who/what is making decisions for Joe and Kamala.
