DETROIT ~ Artificial intelligence remains at the center of a growing debate as political leaders and industry experts weigh its benefits against its risks. While some have called for slowing AI development because of concerns about security threats and future capabilities, others argue innovation should continue and that oversight should focus on how AI is deployed rather than on limiting research.
Experts say regulations should mirror those used in other industries, with rigorous testing and safety standards before AI systems are released to the public. Many believe the greatest risk comes not from AI acting independently but from people using the technology for harmful purposes, making responsible deployment, cybersecurity protections and government oversight key issues as the United States seeks to remain competitive with China in the global AI race.
