Harris pledges support for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency in speech to New York City donors

"I will bring together labor, small business founders, innovators and big companies. Together, we will invest in America's competitiveness and invest in America's future. We will encourage innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors," Vice President Harris said at a fundraiser at the Cipriani Wall Street Hotel in Manhattan. Kamala Harris, who has vowed to help artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency investments grow if elected, pitched her economic agenda to donors in New York City on Sunday, saying it would foster innovation and focus regulation on protecting consumers and investors. Harris' comments mark her first on cryptocurrencies as the Democratic presidential nominee, and investors and enthusiasts alike are waiting to see if her approach will be any different from that of President Joe Biden.
