Help convince Vice President Kamala Harris to join a 2-year, part-time PhD program in artificial intelligence (AI).

--

Everyday people across the world are increasingly affected by the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). From healthcare and education to finance and security, AI has permeated nearly every aspect of our lives, offering both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges. As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial that our policy leaders possess a deep understanding of the technology and its implications, both to maximize the benefits and to address the potential risks it poses to society. By encouraging Vice President Kamala Harris to join a part-time, customized PhD program in AI, we are investing in a future where our leaders have the necessary expertise to shape informed, responsible, and effective AI policies that positively impact the lives of millions of citizens.

The stakes are high when it comes to AI policy. A lack of informed leadership can result in a widening of social and economic inequalities, exacerbation of biases in AI systems, and potential threats to privacy and security. Conversely, with knowledgeable and proactive policy leaders, we can harness AI to improve healthcare, create new job opportunities, mitigate climate change, and promote equitable access to education and resources. Education empowers us all, and we believe that the future Dr. Harris will be empowered her to develop and advocate for policies that foster a more inclusive, safe, and prosperous society, where the benefits of AI are accessible to all. Failure to act now risks leaving our policy leaders ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of AI and its implications, which will ultimately affect the quality of life for generations to come.

There is no time to lose. Our policy leaders must be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed decisions. By supporting Vice President Harris' quest for a PhD, we are taking a critical step towards fostering a future where our leaders are better prepared to address the challenges and harness the opportunities that AI presents. Now is the time to act, as AI's impact on our society continues to grow exponentially. The decisions she makes today will shape the world we live in tomorrow. So let's seize this opportunity to invest in our leaders and create a brighter future for all.

Sign the petition now to show your support for Vice President Kamala Harris in joining a PhD program in AI.
