In the US, Hassett Says Private Sector Should Address AI Risks
In the United States, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said that the private sector is capable of addressing risks associated with the rapid development of artificial intelligence. He said this on the Squawk Box program, reports CNBC Top News.
The role of business and government
According to Hassett, problems related to AI can be addressed, and the private sector is the appropriate place to seek such solutions. He also said that this does not mean there will be no government oversight.
The official said that the government is monitoring the situation and, when necessary, uses law enforcement mechanisms to ensure that companies act responsibly. At the same time, in Hassett's assessment, the government's role in this area should not be expanded.

Trump's statements
Hassett's comment came the day after US President Donald Trump criticized AI industry leaders and other people who had warned about the risks of the new technology. Trump called such concerns a “hoax.”
The Trump administration, which supports AI development, believes that US dominance over China in the rapidly developing field is necessary.
