The White House announced a plan to crack down on artificial intelligence (AI) on Thursday — amid growing concerns over the advanced technology possibly replacing humanity someday — naming Vice President Kamala Harris as "AI Czar" in charge of the new initiative.

Harris, who has the lowest approval rating of any modern vice president, will lead the initiative as AI czar, with a $140 million budget, the White House said.

"Vice President Harris and senior Administration officials will meet today with CEOs of four American companies at the forefront of AI innovation," the Biden administration explained.

Harris is meeting with Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to discuss how potential risks involving AI can be reduced.

"AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time, but in order to seize the opportunities it presents, we must first mitigate its risks," the Biden administration said.
