Biden – Kamala Harris White House Administration to recognize on (or around) October 30th 2023 that AI has (i) “deepened discrimination and bias, rather than improving quality of life;” (ii) “reproduced and intensified existing inequities;” (iii) “caused new types of harmful discrimination and exacerbated online and physical harms;” [5] the formal/informal opinion of your local/state government pertaining to AI; [6] the policies and procedures implemented by your local/state government to prevent AI from (i) “deepening discrimination and bias, rather than improving quality of life;” (ii) “reproducing and intensifying existing inequities;” (iii) “causing new types of harmful discrimination...”
