The Biden administration is silent about whether it has concern over the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) or whether it believes it should be federally regulated as both Democrat and Republican lawmakers, as well as some tech moguls, urge government intervention.
When reached for comment about the issue on Wednesday morning, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred Fox News Digital to the National Security Council (NSC), which serves as Biden's "principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his or her senior advisors and cabinet officials."
Despite signaling that it would respond rapidly to Fox News's request, after more than 24 hours, the NSC did not provide comment on Biden administration's reaction to the call for an AI development moratorium.
The White House's silence amid the rise in AI comes after a letter signed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and other tech giants cited "profound risks to society and humanity" and called for a six-month pause to advanced AI developments.
