Harris, who previously served as the Biden administration’s AI czar<\/a>, posted a lengthy statement on AI on Monday. In her post, Harris called for President Donald Trump to “do his job to protect America\u2019s interests by pursuing a treaty with countries like China to stop dangerous uses of AI, limit the speed of its development, and adopt global standards for testing.”<\/p>\n In response, social media users recalled Harris\u2019 attempt at explaining AI as vice president in 2023.<\/p>\n “I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing,” Harris said. “First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence,<\/a> but ultimately what it is is it’s about machine learning.”<\/p>\n WATCH: KAMALA HARRIS TORCHED OVER \u2018ZERO SENSE\u2019 WNBA PEP TALK IN LATEST \u2018WORD SALAD\u2019 MOMENT<\/a><\/p>\n Former Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a panel discussion at the Austrian World Summit of the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative on June 16, 2026, in Vienna, Austria.

Have you ever heard her say \u2018frontier,\u2019 \u2018advancing,\u2019 and \u2018intelligence\u2019 in the same sentence? Until now, her misfits had never produced anything this un-Kamala and then posted it on social media.”<\/p>\n Columnist S.L. Kanthan wrote, “One of the dumbest women now wants America to voluntarily slow down progress in AI.” He posted another video of Harris explaining cloud storage.<\/p>\n Harris said, “No longer are you necessarily keeping those private files in some file cabinet that\u2019s locked in the basement of the house. It\u2019s on your laptop, and it’s then, therefore, up here in this cloud, that exists above us, right?”<\/p>\n Author and national security expert Sarah Adams commented on Harris\u2019 AI post, writing, “No one is looking for your thoughts on ‘intelligence.'”<\/p>\n Another user, influencer Andrew Aziz, and several others suggested that Harris\u2019 post itself was AI-generated.<\/p>\n KAMALA HARRIS DIVES INTO MIDTERM FIGHT ONLY TO GET ROASTED FOR NEVER HAVING ‘AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN HER LIFE\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stand together at the White House ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. (Getty Images)<\/p>\n In her post, Harris wrote that AI is “advancing at an alarming speed,” emphasizing what she characterized as industry leaders\u2019 call to “responsibly slow the pace of frontier AI development.”<\/p>\n She wrote that “a slowdown is critical in order to ensure AI serves the public interest,” saying, “Pacing AI development does not mean giving up on this technology\u2019s potential to produce life-saving benefits in fields like medicine \u2014 some of which we are already seeing. Rather, it is about setting up sensible guardrails so that AI does not completely escape human control and endanger our safety and collective future.”<\/p>\n Besides action from Trump, Harris called on Congress to “work at an urgent pace” to provide AI oversight, saying, “The United States must continue to lead the world in developing AI technology even as we seek to impose common-sense safety standards.”<\/p>\n Harris is not the only prominent Democrat to have called for increased AI regulation recently. Former President Barack Obama<\/a> urged Democrats during a private fundraiser in New York City on Thursday to place artificial intelligence near the center of their political agenda ahead of the midterms and the 2028 presidential race while warning that the technology could become dangerous without greater oversight as voters increasingly raise concerns about jobs, privacy and data centers.<\/p>\n “This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don\u2019t get on top of it, I think can be dangerous,” Obama said. “If we do get on top of it, I do think it\u2019s beneficial. I genuinely think it\u2019s going to accelerate, for example, drug development in ways that can help us cure diseases. I do think that this can help us figure out pathways for a clean energy future.”<\/p>\n ANTHROPIC CEO CALLS ON AI INDUSTRY TO SLOW DOWN TECH RACE, DRAWING SUPPORT FROM ELON MUSK, SAM ALTMAN<\/a><\/p>\n President Donald Trump, left, and Jensen Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., in the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
