Republican Rep. Lance Gooden is concerned that AI could eventually replace human decision-making in government and other critical areas of society. Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, says that Americans could "get to the point where someday we're all very afraid" of artificial intelligence after more than a thousand business leaders penned an open letter urging new AI developments to be put on pause for six months. "This is something that is going to sneak up on us, and we'll get to the point where we're in too deep to really make meaningful changes before it's too late," Gooden tells Fox News Digital. In November 2022, Microsoft unveiled ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot that engages in human-like dialogue and can generate responses, analyze data and text -- potentially threatening careers in a wide range of industries, from customer service, tech and media jobs. "I am worried about being pulled over and questioned by a robot someday. I don't want to live in a society where a task of government that should be fulfilled by real life people are being replaced with AI," said Gooden.
