House Democrat Rep. Adriano Espaillat is concerned about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI), fearing that it could lead to "digital colonialism." To avoid this, he firmly believes that close collaboration among Western Hemisphere nations is essential in developing AI systems that prioritize diversity and inclusion. In a proposed resolution, Espaillat highlights the urgent need for a regional strategy that emphasizes maintaining democratic principles in AI development. He also warns against authoritarian regimes taking control of AI standards, which could have detrimental effects on global society and exacerbate existing inequalities. Espaillat strongly advocates for joint efforts among nations to ensure that AI technologies are harnessed for the greater good and to address socio-economic disparities.
