Artificial intelligence could put jobs in jeopardy

President Biden will meet with science and technology advisers on Wednesday to discuss the "risks and opportunities" that artificial intelligence technologies pose for Americans and national security.
A White House official said the president would focus on discussing the importance of protecting rights and safety to ensure there are appropriate safeguards and innovation is responsible.
Furthermore, Biden will call on Congress to pass bipartisan legislation to protect children and to limit the personal data tech companies collect.
The Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, or PCAST, is a federal advisory committee composed of experts outside the federal government charged with making science, technology and innovation policy recommendations to the White House. It is co-chaired by the Cabinet-ranked director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Arati Prabhakar.

Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic in recent weeks as companies rolled out chatbots like the OpenAI ChatGPT and Google's Bard.
While these recent releases have led to conversations about how the technology could make peoples' lives easier, other factors have drawn scrutiny and concerns about ethics.
After the release of AI art apps, artists voiced their complaints, saying their work had been stolen. Some have since taken legal action.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) called last Thursday for countries to implement its global ethical framework immediately following pleas by more than a thousand tech workers for a pause in the training of the most powerful AI systems.
Last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not say whether the Biden administration would urge lawmakers to federally regulate AI.
