AI is one of today\u2019s most powerful technologies, with the potential to improve people\u2019s lives and tackle some of society\u2019s biggest challenges,\u201d\u00a0Harris said.<\/p>\n<p> The vice president went on to state that the government and private companies need to work together to tackle challenges posed by advanced technology, such as state actors using the technology to \u201cundermine democracy\u201d and privacy breaches.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cEvery company must comply with existing laws to protect the American people. I look forward to the follow-through and follow-up in the weeks to come,\u201d Harris added.<\/p>\n<p> The meeting came after the Biden administration announced a series of actions aimed at promoting responsible AI innovation in a way that protects Americans\u2019 safety and rights, including a\u00a0$140 million investment by the\u00a0National Science Foundation to fund the launch of\u00a0seven new national AI research and development institutions.<\/p>\n<p>  The OpenAI logo on a mobile phone in front of a computer screen displaying output from ChatGPT in Boston on March 21, 2023.
