Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has unveiled an ambitious proposal aimed at safeguarding the rights of citizens in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).

At a recent press conference, DeSantis articulated his vision for a “Citizen Bill of Rights for AI,” asserting that humanity should remain at the forefront of technological advancement.

Rejecting the growing notion of “AI exceptionalism,” DeSantis emphasized that reliance on machines cannot replace human decision-making or diminish individual responsibilities.

He stated, “I think new technologies have to be developed in a way that aligns with American values,” highlighting the importance of self-government, free speech, and strong family structures.

DeSantis expressed concerns over how Big Tech is often driven by profit motives that may overshadow the well-being of the public.

He remarked, “If there’s ways technologies would be more beneficial for humanity, but would lose money versus some that could be destructive, but make them a lot of money, they are going to choose the money.”

The governor's proposed legislation aims to protect Floridians’ privacy, security, and quality of life in the face of rapid technological changes.

DeSantis's initiative reflects a growing concern among conservatives about the unchecked power of big corporations and the potential impacts of AI on society.

In promoting this legislation, he encourages a balanced approach to technology that enhances rather than supersedes human dignity and values.

As discussions on AI continue to evolve, DeSantis's proactive stance sets a framework for future debates on the intersection of technology, ethics, and individual rights in America.
