On September 15th, former U.S. President Obama expressed support for enacting federal laws and regulations to govern the safety of artificial intelligence (AI), cautioning that mismanagement of the technology could lead to a 'potential catastrophe.' In a statement on Monday, Obama emphasized that AI policy should be at the forefront of public debate, urging policymakers in Washington to proactively develop proposals to address safety concerns, anticipate AI's impact on employment and future generations, and ensure its benefits are widely shared. Obama criticized current President Trump's non-interventionist stance on AI regulation, a position that sharply contrasts with the Democratic candidates. Trump has increasingly hardened his opposition to AI regulation, taking to social media on Monday to dismiss existential concerns about AI as a 'hoax.'
