Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to the U.K. from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to deliver what’s being billed as a major policy speech on artificial intelligence.
She will be attending a global summit on how to deploy groundbreaking AI technology and will be accompanied by her husband Doug Emhoff.
The first stop will be London, where Ms. Harris will outline the administration’s vision for “the future of AI and steps we are taking, alongside our allies and partners, to achieve that vision,” said Kirsten Allen, the vice president’s press secretary.
Ms. Harris will then represent the U.S. at the Global Summit on AI Safety at Bletchley Park.
She will advocate for protecting human rights, civil rights, labor rights, consumer rights, and privacy; international rules and norms that reflect democratic values and interests; the inclusion of civil society in AI policymaking; and accountability for the private sector, according to Ms. Allen.
“Throughout her engagements, the vice president will make clear that the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to building a future of AI where every person is safe from the harms of AI and where every person can share equally in its benefits,” she said.
The safe use of artificial intelligence is emerging as a critical issue for policymakers in the U.S. and abroad. Congress is focused, in particular, on ways to make sure AI is not used to confuse or mislead voters during elections.
During the trip, Mr. Emhoff will visit with young leaders to discuss ways to counter hate, promote gender equity and encourage women to seek careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
