The former president of the United States, Barack Obama, warned of the "dangers" of artificial intelligence and asked that regulation of this technology be a central theme in the Democratic Party's electoral campaigns. His statements come at a time when AI regulation has become an important political issue in the country.
Obama's positions contrast with those of Republican candidate Donald Trump, who on Sunday classified as "negative forces" those who advocate for artificial intelligence regulation. Trump spoke on the topic during a campaign rally.
The divergence between the two former presidents reflects a broader divide in American politics on how to approach the artificial intelligence issue, with Democrats tending to be more favorable to greater regulatory intervention and Republicans more cautious about government restrictions.
This exchange of opinions comes at a crucial phase of the electoral campaigns in the United States, where artificial intelligence has been gaining prominence as a public and political debate topic.
