🇺🇸 U.S. President Biden Addresses AI Dangers

U.S. President Joe Biden met with his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology yesterday to discuss the risks and opportunities of AI. Biden highlighted AI's potential to address significant challenges like disease and climate change while also emphasizing the risks that may arise in society, national security, and the economy.

Here's the rundown of the key points:

• Tech companies are responsible for ensuring their products' safety before introducing them to the public.

• Biden calls for "bipartisan privacy legislation" to limit personal data collection, ban targeted advertising towards children, and prioritize health and safety in product development.

• AI is becoming an increasingly important topic for policymakers.

Biden's remarks follow the open letter where Elon Musk and other tech leaders proposed a six-month pause in developing more powerful AI systems than GPT-4.

Our opinion: the growing attention from world leaders toward AI technology is a positive development. It's crucial to explore its potential benefits while remaining aware of the potential risks involved in a space with such rapid advancement.

🤖 Build an App Using your Voice

McKay Wrigley is known on Twitter as one of the fastest and most promising builders in the AI space. 

He's built a variety of products in what seems like days, including Chatbot UI that has ChatGPT prompt templates, a shortcut to replace Siri with ChatGPT, and an AI code translator that can turn any coding language into any other language.

But he's outdone himself again- Wrigley has just built a GPT-4 based no-code assistant that can initialize a project, build an entire app, create a GitHub repo, and even deploy it as a workable website- all by using his voice.
