Kamala Harris Draws Mockery Over 2023 AI Clip After Urging Slower Development
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 15
Summary
Harris faced a fresh online backlash after a 2023 video of her describing AI as "two letters" resurfaced following her Monday call to slow frontier AI development.
In that statement, she urged President Donald Trump to pursue a treaty with countries including China, limit AI’s development speed and adopt global testing standards, while pressing Congress for faster oversight.
Critics on X, including conservative influencers and commentators, mocked both Harris’ earlier AI remarks and a separate cloud-storage explanation, with some suggesting her latest post was AI-generated.
The flare-up lands amid a wider Democratic push for tighter AI rules: Barack Obama recently warned the technology could become dangerous without stronger oversight, while Trump rejected new guardrails and said U.S. leadership in AI should remain the priority.
