TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Gov. Ron DeSantis is calling on lawmakers to address artificial intelligence.

“I’m not an AI exceptionalist, I’m an individual and human exceptionalist,” the governor said. “I think new technologies have to be developed in a way that aligns with American values.”

DeSantis’ comments come as House Speaker Daniel Perez declared next week “Artificial Intelligence Week,” during which lawmakers will meet to discuss many AI-related bills.
