The Spin
Democratic narrative
The US government is attempting to keep the commercial aspirations of AI in check while integrating its benefits into the Biden administration's federal agencies. The executive order rightfully acknowledges both the excitement and danger that AI is capable of globally, and — if successful — will mark the strongest governmental directive seen so far in the sector.
Republican narrative
Biden leading the fight for AI ethics is like a liberal, multinational corporation controlling what election-related information the public is allowed to see. The most powerful aspect of AI is its information control, which the Democrats were lucky enough to have on their side during the 2020 election. If social media platformers were able to sway large swaths of undecided voters in Biden's direction, what do you think this corporate-government partnership will do next as the technology it controls grows stronger?
