AI, the Indian-American advisor said, was one of the important topics of discussion when President Joe Biden met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United States and like-minded countries including India need to work together to shape the course of artificial intelligence, Arati Prabhakar, the Science Advisor to President Joe Biden, said on Friday as the administration roped in several IT giants like Google and Microsoft to ensure that it is not misused and is being used for public good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe work that we are doing includes working with companies to hold them accountable and there\u2019s some important progress on that today. We\u2019re also working on executive actions that we can take within existing law, and the President is considering an executive order that we think can really boost our ability to deal with AI\u2019s harms and also start using it for good,\u201d Indian-American Prabhakar told PTI in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we can do from the executive branch. We\u2019ll also continue to work with Congress on bipartisan legislation as they start putting legislation forward. Then critically and underpinning all of this is the work that we\u2019re doing globally with our international partners and allies, including with India,\u201d Prabhakar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that is because this is a global technology. It\u2019s everywhere. Everyone is participating and it\u2019s really affecting, it\u2019s going to affect everyone\u2019s lives and we want to make sure that like-minded countries work together to shape the course of AI,\u201d she said in response to a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AI, she said, was one of the important topics of discussion when President Joe Biden met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s very much on the minds of our global leaders when they meet with President Biden. That\u2019s what happened with Prime Minister Modi and many others. I had the opportunity to be at Congress when the Prime Minister spoke and then at the State Dinner and then again at the luncheon that the Vice President and the Secretary of State hosted and artificial intelligence came up repeatedly in those conversations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn fact, the prime minister made a wonderful joke when he addressed Congress and he said he thought AI stood for America, India, which is another way of interpreting it. But I think really the theme of many of the conversations that have happened is exactly what you\u2019re saying is we\u2019re going to have to link arms and be clear about how to achieve safe AI so all of our citizens can benefit from it,\u201d Prabhakar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prabhakar, who spent half of her professional life in Silicon Valley and has her regular home in Palo Alto, said she senses the excitement about AI in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat I would say is go build amazing applications for artificial intelligence because that is part of how we\u2019re going to go forward and make sure while you\u2019re doing it, to build AI that is safe and trustworthy so that it really does lift us up in the end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, Biden announced voluntary commitments that the administration has worked on with seven leading AI companies. These companies include Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and some of the smaller AI companies. A number of tech companies, some of the biggest leaders in AI, are signing up for some commitments on safety, security and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is such an important step that we\u2019ve been able to achieve by holding these companies to account because it\u2019s the first time that the industry has started to come together and take responsibility,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen we\u2019re going to be working on what we need to do as an executive branch, and that will include figuring out how do we manage as AI makes voice cloning, makes fraud easier. As cybercrime becomes easier, some of these harms start advancing. How do we mitigate those harms within the laws and regulations that we already have?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd then how do we start using AI for public purposes? How do we use it to deal with the climate crisis that we\u2019re confronting? How do we use it to improve health outcomes for everyone here in America and around the world? So we\u2019re seeing both the bright and the dark side and we\u2019re actively working on both pieces,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Describing AI as the most powerful technology of this time, she said the president\u2019s been clear that how it is used is going to express their values. But that\u2019s true as well around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know every part of the world is trying to use AI to create a future that expresses their values. I think we can disagree about lots of things in this country and around the world, but the one thing I think we would all of us would agree on is that we don\u2019t want to live in a future that\u2019s driven by technology, that\u2019s shaped by authoritarian regimes,\u201d Prabhakar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s is why I think it is so important for like-minded countries, for democratic countries to come together and make sure that we\u2019re working together to use AI in ways that express our values,\u201d said the top American scientific official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
