Such a candidate may emerge in event that the current President of the United States Joe Biden is unable to stand for the Democratic Party again. Biden has openly endorsed Harris as his vice, and Harris recently claimed her intention to win the nomination.
Thus, because currently Harris is preparing for the elections to the Senate, she can be described as a presidential nominee with strong ties to the Bay Area and notable connections to the tech sector. She is originally from Oakland, and San Francisco selected her as their district attorney; she also became California’s attorney general; Kamala was elected to the Senate back in 2016. Some of her previous supporters are VCs such as John Doerr and Ron Conway, and Reid Hoffman the co-founder of LinkedIn supported her presidential campaign.
Still, some commentators claimed that Harris could and should have done more to rein in Big Tech’s influence while she served as attorney general. That being said, she is not afraid to call out tech CEOs or demand for increased regulation in the tech industry. As a senator, she accused big social network sensitization of spreading fake news and recommended that firms such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook should be restrained to guard consumer confidentiality.
Even though Harris has not been a senator, as a vice president, she discussed the necessity of regulating AI Systems, as progressive development should not harm people’s safety and threaten democratic institutions. She approved Biden’s executive order for new AI standards; she saw this as an opportunity to begin the process of making AI safer.
