On Monday, she traveled to Atlanta to tout the president\u2019s investments in small businesses, adding to the list of jobs she has been handed as vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Since the beginning of 2024, Harris has made 35 trips to 16 different states.<\/p>\n<h2>Small businesses<\/h2>\n<p>This week, Harris is beginning the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/04\/29\/fact-sheet-vice-president-harris-kicks-off-nationwide-economic-opportunity-tour-in-atlanta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Economic Opportunity Tour<\/a>\u201d on behalf of the Biden administration, first going south to Atlanta, then Detroit next week.

There, she announced new measures the Biden administration would take to manage risks and regulation of the AI industry. She asked world leaders to look beyond profits and instead think about the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese threats are often referred to as the existential threats of AI because, of course, they could endanger the very existence of humanity,\u201d Harris said. \u201cThese threats, without question, are profound, and they demand global action. But let us be clear: There are additional threats that also demand our action \u2014 threats that are currently causing harm and which, to many people, also feel existential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This March, Harris announced <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-ai-safeguards-biden-administration-c6d5be3794558660174a8a1dde8805bf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>new criteria for AI<\/a>, which requires U.S. federal agencies that use AI tools to be able to prove those tools are not harming the general public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Veterans Administration wants to use AI in VA hospitals to help doctors diagnose patients, they would first have to demonstrate that AI does not produce racially biased diagnoses,\u201d Harris said as an example of an agency using AI.<\/p>\n<h2>Gun violence<\/h2>\n<p>The vice president visited Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the site of the deadly mass school shooting in 2018, to discuss the administration\u2019s efforts to curb gun violence. <\/p>\n<p>There, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/03\/23\/fact-sheet-vice-president-harris-announces-gun-safety-solutions-while-continuing-efforts-to-keep-schools-safe-from-gun-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>announced<\/a> two new \u201csolutions\u201d to the issue of gun violence.

She said her position as the messenger of these arguments will be tested at the polls in November. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to decide that, right? I\u2019m not going to decide that,\u201d Harris said. \u201cBut I view it as my responsibility \u2014 in the context of, frankly, my career \u2014 to make sure that I am being available, accessible, and that I\u2019m listening. It\u2019s just important to me to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The southern border<\/h2>\n<p>From the start of the Biden administration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/story\/2024-02-05\/kamala-harris-was-tapped-to-fix-an-immigration-crisis-but-the-target-has-moved\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Harris was tapped<\/a> as the figure to spearhead the Biden administration\u2019s approach to the southern border. They were set to implement the \u201croot causes strategy,\u201d which, in theory, means if the U.S. is able to improve the economic, security, and political conditions in countries, in this case specifically Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, then fewer people would make the journey to cross the border.<\/p>\n<p>The crisis, however, shifted as people began migrating in large numbers from other countries, such as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s root causes,\u201d White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in reference to Harris\u2019s work at the border.
