Speaking at a session organized by the Observer Research Foundation, Garcetti highlighted the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework on AI to prevent potentially catastrophic consequences.
He stressed the urgency of staying ahead in the AI field to avoid risks associated with advanced technologies.
In the backdrop of President Joe Biden’s executive order on AI, which demands an assessment of AI applications’ vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and their performance, Garcetti underlined the need for bilateral efforts in this domain.
