Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) stands to be one of the most transformative technological advancements of our time, poised to reshape nearly every aspect of our lives. From the economy and public services to the very fabric of our social interactions, as AI becomes more integrated into our daily routines, concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, workforce disruptions, and impacts on democracy become more pronounced. There is a growing consensus on the need for robust regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines to ensure that the development and deployment of AI aligns with societal values, promotes inclusivity, and protects individual rights while also advancing innovation.

The Center for American Progress Action Fund emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive AI strategy that enables society to safely harness the opportunities presented by AI while simultaneously mitigating the multifaceted challenges and risks AI brings. The federal government, private sector, and civil society all play crucial roles in this effort, requiring a collaborative approach that spans immediate executive actions, legislative initiatives, and international cooperation. The objective is clear: to forge a path that leverages AI’s vast potential while safeguarding against its risks, ensuring a future where technology advances with the principles of equity, safety, and well-being for all Americans.
