(The Center Square) – As the conversation of AI evolving dominates headlines across the globe, Gov. Josh Shapiro delivered an address on Thursday laying out what he thinks is the best path forward.
“I am not a doomer. I don't think it is inevitable that AI is going to take over the world, or that someone will misuse it to kill us or to do harm,” Shapiro said. “But I do have real concerns, as do many Pennsylvanians and many Americans.”
