SARASOTA, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hosted an AI roundtable discussion in Sarasota on Wednesday morning.
DeSantis spoke to the importance, influence and reach of artificial intelligence during the roundtable.
"I think even the most gung-ho proponent of AI would acknowledge that ultimately if you put garbage in, you get garbage out," the governor said, addressing the roundtable and onlookers.
"And so human nature being what it is, you have a handful of companies jockeying for control of all the data in the world. They are going to use that to pursue an agenda. If they didn't, it would be the first time in all of human history."
The event was held in the College Hall at New College of Florida.
