A Kamala Harris presidency could mean more of the same on AI regulation

Over the past three years, Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a leading role inside the White House on artificial intelligence as the technology is taking off.

As AI czar, she brought the chiefs of OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and Anthropic to the White House to agree on voluntary safety standards for the technology. She led a White House executive order mandating how the federal government would use and develop AI. And she pushed Congress to adopt regulations to protect individuals from AI killing jobs and other harms — although little legislation has emerged, and the companies have so far faced few roadblocks.
