Episode 20, Jun 21, 07:34 PM
Host Tammy Haddad interviews Ben Buchanan, the White House Special Advisor on AI. The wide-ranging discussion touches on the U.S. government's progress on AI innovation, safety, and regulation over the past year; competition with China; U.S. companies’ voluntary commitments on AI, including White House conversations with Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, the Pope and Elon Musk; Apple’s integration of AI; and how the White House is “watching carefully how AI factors into elections.”
Ben Buchanan takes us around the AI world for his conversations with AI companies from Anthropic, Microsoft and Google as well as Apple’s integration with OpenAI. He acknowledges that the pace of AI requires the government to move fast but says “we're trying to make it earn its reputation and make it live up to the lofty claims that are sometimes given to it.”
