Charleston Senator Matt Leber has worked in the SC House and now in the Senate to push legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence. He talked with podcast host, Frank Knapp, about how he has sponsored bills that address guardrails on chatbots, computer programs that pose as humans to engage AI users in conversations online.
These computer-driven chatbot conversations have been responsible for suicides and other self-harm, harm to others, sexual exploitation, anxiety, depression and other negative consequences. Chatbots also collect sensitive personal information that is then used for targeted advertising.
Senator Leber’s bill addresses the above problems and importantly seeks to hold AI to product-liability laws.
Senator Leber believes that we are facing a real battle for our dignity, for our personal rights and for being stakeholders for our children. The longer we ignore this problem, he says, the harder the fight is going to be.
