If you read thru the text of the former VPOTUS speech on AI, the one with the infamous “…it’s two letters… a kind of fancy thing…” comments, the risk she pointed out was that AI would run companies without understanding or compensating for human bias.  BIAS!  This is how the government thinks of the risk of AI?  We have a TV guy who is an expert in industry interested in getting “the AI thing over the line” in order to solve the labor shortage in the office, while the former VP and AI czar warns of bias, while coming across like a fifth grader reporting on a book she hadn’t read.

Tut! You must be asking the wrong search engine.
Musk has been saying that many times since 2024.
Startpage gives a long list.
