'AI Valley' author worries there's 'so much power in the hands of few people'
Briefly

In 2023, President Biden's AI regulatory order was repealed by President Trump, emphasizing a divide in approaches to innovation control. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Rivlin discusses the dual nature of AI in his book, noting it can be both beneficial and dangerous. He argues that while AI has the potential to revolutionize fields like health and education, there are risks, including misuse in creating new crises or financial crimes. Rivlin warns that AI operates like 'alien intelligence,' lacking true understanding despite its vast data processing capabilities, highlighting the need for deliberate regulatory frameworks.
"I personally think AI could be an amazing thing around health, medicine, scientific discoveries, education, a wide array of things as long as we're deliberate about it."
"The weird thing about AI is that it seems to know everything, but it doesn't understand a thing. It's like a parrot."
