Brad Smith on AI | YouCongress

Brad Smith

Microsoft vice chair and president

Even in a time of fractured public discourse, it will be critical to find more ways to bring more people together to develop common solutions. This requires a big tent with a breadth of perspectives. We need to make room not only for technology companies, employers, and governments, but for non-profits, students, the world’s religions, labor leaders, and workers themselves.

Brad Smith votes For

AI value alignment must be subject to public deliberation, not decided by developers alone

We do need an approach that is inclusive, that makes room for every government in the world, as well as multi-stakeholder conversations as were happening right now today. Government cannot act alone. The private sector cannot act alone.

Brad Smith votes Against

AI will create a permanent underclass

There was a time when humanity discovered that a horse could run faster than a person. So, people learned how to ride horses. Let's use AI to help people do more and not replace us.
