In another unsurprising, two minute long, word salad about AI (Artificial Intelligence) Vice President Kamala Harris, the diversity hire extraordinaire, proved that she is dumber than the AI she advocates for.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent attempt to explain artificial intelligence (AI) to a group of labor and civil rights leaders ended up becoming another instance of her stumbling over her words, a pattern that has unfortunately become increasingly associated with her tenure.
During the roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C., Harris struggled to articulate her thoughts clearly. She began by stating, “I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it’s about machine learning.”
She continued with a convoluted explanation, saying, “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.”
Attempting to simplify her point, Harris added, “So to reduce it down to its most simple point, this is part of the issue that we have here is thinking about what is going into a decision, and then whether that decision is actually legitimate and reflective of the needs and the life experiences of all the people.”
Harris further discussed the importance of transparency in the AI process and its impact on decision-making, continuing her lengthy statement.
This gaffe comes just a day after she faced criticism for making more “nonsense” comments during a roundtable discussion on transportation. She stated the obvious by saying, “This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go! It’s that basic.”
Back in April, Harris made puzzling comments during a pro-abortion rally, emphasizing the “importance of the moment” in a vague and verbose manner. She said, “So I think it’s very important — as you have heard from so many incredible leaders for us at every moment in time and certainly this one — to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.”
These instances highlight Harris’ tendency to struggle with clear and concise communication, leaving many scratching their heads and questioning the substance of her statements.
