Biden administration leaves 'foundational' tech legacy, technologists say
SHitler will tear it down or ensure that only billionaires benefit.https://ncnewsline.com/2024/12/02/biden-administration-leaves-foundational-tech-legacy-technologists-say/
With the CHIPS act, AI Bill of Rights and expanded broadband internet access, Biden has laid the groundwork for tech innovation to grow, they said.
As he’s poised to leave office in two months, President Joe Biden will leave a legacy of “proactive,” “nuanced” and “effective” tech policy strategy behind him, technologists across different sectors told States Newsroom.
Biden’s term was bookended by major issues in the tech world. When he took office in early 2021, he was faced with an economy and workforce that was struggling to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, and longstanding issues with a digital divide across the country. As he prepares to exit the White House, federal agencies are working to incorporate the principles from the 2023 AI Bill of Rights, on evolving technologies that will undoubtedly continue changing American life.
Though he was unable to get federal regulations on AI passed through Congress, Biden’s goal was to bring tech access to all Americans, while safeguarding against potential harms, the technologists said.
“I think everything that he does is foundational,” said Suriel Arellano, a longtime consultant and author on digital transformation who’s based in Los Angeles. “So it definitely sets the stage for long term innovation and regulation.” . . .
