Barack Obama Instagram – Earlier this week, President Biden issued an executive order on artificial intelligence – a breakthrough technology that has the power to change the world in ways we’re only beginning to understand. After the order was released, I sat down with Nilay Patel, host of the Decoder podcast, to talk more about how we can learn from the past and harness the power of AI in a way that benefits, rather than undermines, our democracy. It’s a topic I’m excited to keep exploring this week at the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum – an event that will bring together activists, thought leaders, and changemakers to discuss challenges like AI and their potential impact. Ahead of those conversations, I wanted to share some of the books, articles, and podcasts that have helped shape my perspective over the past year. This list offers a range of viewpoints on the threats, opportunities, and challenges posed by AI and some thoughtful ideas on how to respond. Check it out at the link in my bio. I hope it’s useful if you’re looking to dive in. And be sure to tune into the Democracy Forum on Friday, November 3 at Obama.org.
