Report: Barack Obama Quietly Advising Joe Biden on AI

Breitbart News

Former President Barack Obama is reportedly advising President Joe Biden, 82, behind the scenes on artificial intelligence (AI), โ€œthe most consequential technology of our time,โ€ as Biden phrased it this week.

The report validates speculation that Obama is intimately involved in steering the Biden administration.

Obama advised Joe Biden and his aides over the past five months on a strategy to tackle artificial intelligence, โ€œengaging behind the scenes with tech companies and holding Zoom meetings with top West Wing aides at President Joe Bidenโ€™s request, according to aides to both men,โ€ NBC Newsย reportedย on Friday:

The current and former presidents discussed the issue on a phone call in June, aides to both of them said. They agreed on the goal of maximizing the technology while limiting the risks, according to Obama and Biden aides.

After that, Biden asked Obama to consult with his team to develop a policy that encourages innovation but also directly addresses the dangers of AI, their aides said. They then continued the discussion during a lunch at the White House, they said.

They agreed that they have a โ€œshared vision,โ€ their aides said, and that the federal government should take swift action.

Obamaโ€™s influence over the Biden administrationโ€™s AI policy comes as conservatives worry that Bidenโ€™s aims to shape AI as a tool for Democrats to enforce censorship over conservatives.

This week, Biden announced an AI executive order, which he framed as an initiative to regulate the AI sector. โ€œBidenโ€™s approach is more carrot than stick,โ€ Axios summarized. โ€œThe order commits to โ€˜ease AI professionalsโ€™ path into the Federal Governmentโ€™ and offer expanded AI training to bureaucrats.โ€

โ€œIt appears as though the Biden administrationโ€™s first goals when it comes to AI is to use robots to enforce censorship of โ€œmisinformationโ€ (i.e., normative conservative thought),โ€ Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News,ย wroteย on Wednesday.

The executive order will launch bias of โ€œenshrining trendy woke opinion as cold-hard facts,โ€ Marlow added.

The law โ€œmust advance the goals of โ€˜civil rightsโ€™ and โ€˜equityโ€™ โ€” aka, the leftโ€™s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework,โ€ Breitbartโ€™s senior Tech writer, Allum Bokhari, said
