Summary

Massachusetts Congressman and Marine veteran Seth Moulton, like many in Washington, has concerns about artificial intelligence and sees a need for more regulation. But unlike those who are calling for pause on the technology, Moulton believes America needs to charge ahead on AI and find ways to use it on the battlefield. The Democrat, who ran for President in 2020, feels doing this will not only give us an advantage over our adversaries, but also limit civilian causalities. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, Rep. Moulton joined Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the militarization of AI and why America cannot let countries like North Korea or Iran get ahead of us on this. He also discussed what sort of international norms regarding AI should be established and weighed in on the increase in military spending that was part of the debt ceiling deal recently signed by the President. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire unedited interview with Massachusetts Congressman and Marine veteran Seth Moulton and hear more about how AI can be used in war and why he believes we should both embrace and fear its capabilities.
