Barack Obama Urges Democrats to Create a Clear AI Strategy

Former US President Barack Obama has called on the Democratic Party to make artificial intelligence (AI) regulation and safety a central part of its political agenda.

As reported by TechCrunch, Obama stated that politicians need a "very clear plan" to effectively address the challenges and concerns surrounding the rapid development of new technologies.

Economic impact and safety

Obama stressed that the strategy should focus on two main areas: the economic impact of AI and technological safety itself.

The widespread adoption of new technologies is driving significant changes in the labour market. In Obama's view, a well-considered policy framework is essential to ensure both economic protection for society and the safe, responsible use of artificial intelligence.
