Hillary Clinton said in remarks Tuesday that AI<\/a> and social media<\/a> have \u201cbroken\u201d how information spreads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur information ecosystem is broken,\u201d Clinton said at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI and social media are supercharging lies.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the former secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee has noted the potential risks posed by AI and widespread social media use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During an appearance on CNN<\/a> last October, Clinton called for federal regulation of social media<\/a>, particularly for the sake of children\u2019s mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the platforms, whether it\u2019s Facebook or Instagram or TikTok or whatever they are, if they don\u2019t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control,\u201d she said at the time. <\/p>\n

And in November 2023, the Aspen Ministers Forum \u2014 of which Clinton is a member \u2014 released a statement<\/a> calling for international cooperation<\/a> to \u201cprevent unintended side effects of increasingly powerful AI systems, limit negative impacts on people\u2019s day-to-day lives, and maximize the benefits to humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s comments are a stark contrast to the Trump administration\u2019s posture, particularly towards AI. In July, the White House released<\/a> its AI policy framework<\/a>, which calls for removing \u201conerous\u201d regulations that restrict innovation in the industry.<\/p>\n

Four states \u2014 Texas, California, Utah and Colorado \u2014 have laws governing AI, according to the International Association of Privacy Professionals<\/a>. Nine other states have active AI bills in their respective state legislatures.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, though, some Republicans on Capitol Hill<\/a> have called for content moderation on social media platforms. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called for the repeal of Section 230, which protects social media companies from responsibility for content published on their platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clinton has also pushed for Section 230\u2019s repeal<\/a>, and said Tuesday that people are \u201cvulnerable to manipulation and deeper polarization\u201d thanks to social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocracy requires a free media and the responsible use of technology,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

According to a Pew Research Center report<\/a> published last week, 53 percent of U.S. adults said AI will worsen people\u2019s ability to think creatively, while 50 percent feel it will worsen people\u2019s ability to form meaningful relationships with other people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A clear majority of respondents, though, felt that AI should play some role in certain tasks, such as weather forecasting, searching for financial crimes and developing new medicines.<\/p>\n

Additionally, an August 2024 study<\/a> found a positive association between social media use and mental health conditions among American adolescents. The association was magnified for frequent users of social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
