Washington, DC – US Vice President J.D. Vance expressed concern about the growing use of artificial intelligence technologies to monitor American citizens. He also warned that the rapid development of this technology could pose a threat to privacy and civil liberties. This could happen if clear controls are not put in place for its use.
A means of surveillance without legal oversight
In recent remarks, Vance emphasized that artificial intelligence is a powerful tool with tremendous opportunities in the economic, security, and service sectors. However, he stressed the need to prevent its transformation into a tool for widespread surveillance. There should also be legal oversight and transparency. He pointed to the importance of striking a balance between national security and individual rights.
He added that concerns are growing within American political circles regarding the potential misuse of algorithms and data analytics systems. These technologies could also be used to monitor citizens’ behavior. In addition, they could track their digital activity. He called for the development of modern legislative frameworks that keep pace with rapid technological advancements.
Enacting laws that guarantee privacy
These statements come at a time of escalating debate within the United States and around the world regarding the role of major technology companies and governments in managing personal data. This is particularly relevant given the expanding applications of artificial intelligence in areas such as security, digital analytics, and public services.
Experts believe that the debate surrounding the regulation of artificial intelligence will remain a prominent issue in the coming years. Furthermore, calls are also growing for the enactment of laws that guarantee privacy protection and prevent the use of modern technologies to violate citizens’ fundamental rights.
