Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday explained artificial intelligence as she convened a roundtable with labor and civil rights leaders to talk about the technology. Vice President Kamala Harris' attempt to explain artificial intelligence (AI) to a group of labor and civil rights leaders on Wednesday instead became her latest word salad gaffe, something she's become increasingly known for during her time in the role. "I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing," Harris said during the roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning." "And so, the machine is taught – and part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine – and we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process."
