United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated on Friday that artificial intelligence was an urgent goal for the current administration and the US.
During an interview at the Aspen Security Forum, Blinken stressed the importance of American companies leading the work on AI. In that regard, he added that the administration has "a special responsibility...leading the way" of this new technology while ensuring "that it's safe, that it's secure and that it builds trust with users."
"We want to make sure that AI maximizes its potential for the extraordinary good that it can do around the world. This is going to be the foundational technology for virtually every kind of progress we want to see," he asserted.
