US President Joe Biden gave his farewell speech before leaving the White House and handing over power to President Donald Trump. In his speech, outgoing President Joe Biden remarked about his administration’s successes including adding up to 17 million jobs, improving the health sector and, according to him “strengthening NATO”.
President Biden warned about the excessive accumulation of power and wealth in a few hands, warning against the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex which is burying Americans with disinformation and abuse of power. He also warned against social media giving up “fact checking”, a move which was recently announced by Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg. President Biden warned of a growing tech-oligarchy that is taking control of America.
President Biden also remarked that the US President should not be immune from the law and that the law should reflect this. The outgoing President also said that United states should be leader of AI technology and not China describing AI technology as “the most consequential technology of our time”.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President on January 20th, which is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a national holiday.
