Vice President Kamala Harris, despite being the beneficiary of a "media blitz" ranging from interviews on "60 Minutes" to longform profiles in outlets like The New York Times and The Atlantic, is still unpopular with voters. 

"Harris has been at the center of a media blitz this fall and taken on new policy leadership responsibilities, while working to overcome lingering issues, including her sagging poll numbers, negative news stories and a rash of staff departures," The Messenger wrote. 

"Ease and confidence have not been the prevailing themes of Harris’s vice presidency," The Atlantic wrote in a profile from early October. "Her first year on the job was defined by rhetorical blunders, staff turnover, political missteps, and a poor sense among even her allies of what, exactly, constituted her portfolio."

Despite President Biden's statements that he believed in Harris's ability to govern, her "reputation has never quite recovered," The Atlantic continued. 

Harris herself has directly confronted her general unpopularity with the American public in multiple interviews with friendly media. In August, Harris claimed that she was the victim of intensive media scrutiny during an interview with Politico.

"I think that that is the case. … It’s what it is," Harris said in response to a question about "whether she faces more media scrutiny than her predecessors as VP." 

"I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘Oh, you know, it’s not fair,’ because, you know, I am not new to these things," she added.

It is an argument that some conservatives have routinely dismissed as ahistorical, noting past criticism of Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle and others. Joe Biden and Al Gore have also routinely come under criticism and ridicule from the right as the two most recent Democratic vice presidents before Harris. 

That is not to say that Harris is the most popular choice for Biden's running mate in 2024, even among Democrats. 

New York Times Magazine relayed that in "interviews with more than 75 people in the vice president’s orbit, there is little agreement about Harris at all, except an acknowledgment that she has a public perception problem, a self-fulfilling spiral of bad press and bad polls, compounded by the realities of racism and sexism."

"This year, an NBC News poll found that 49 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Harris, with the lowest net-negative rating for a vice president since the poll began in 1989," the magazine wrote. 

Multiple liberal columnists have urged Biden to ditch Harris as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election.

Columnists at The Washington Post, New York Magazine’s The Intelligencer and a prominent independent writer said there are "better options available" for Biden’s running mate and that he should choose one of them if he wants a shot at winning re-election.

Among the Democrats mentioned to replace Harris were Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, and Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth.

KAMALA HARRIS ASSURES 'JOE BIDEN IS VERY MUCH ALIVE' AHEAD OF 2024 CONCERNS

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius recently argued that Biden was "too old" to run for re-election and pointed to Harris as one of the president's "liabilities." He said, "Biden could encourage a more open vice-presidential selection process that could produce a stronger running mate. There are many good alternatives, starting with now-Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass, whom I wish Biden had chosen in the first place, or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo."

The author pointed out the vice president’s shortcomings, writing, "She is less popular than Biden, with a 39.5 percent approval rating, according to polling website FiveThirtyEight." 

Ignatius continued: "Harris has many laudable qualities, but the simple fact is that she has failed to gain traction in the country or even within her own party."

The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The U.S. and other countries signed an agreement to collaborate and communicate on "frontier" artificial intelligence (AI) that will aim to limit the risks presented by the technology in the coming years. 

"We encourage all relevant actors to provide context-appropriate transparency and accountability on their plans to measure, monitor and mitigate potentially harmful capabilities and the associated effects that may emerge, in particular to prevent misuse and issues of control, and the amplification of other risks," the Bletchley Declaration, signed by 28 countries, including the U.S., China and members of the European Union. 

The international community has wrangled with the problem of AI, trying to balance the obvious and emerging risks associated with such advanced technology against what Britain’s King Charles III called the "untold benefits." 

The Bletchley Declaration therefore lays out two key points: "identifying AI safety risks" and "building respective risk-based policies across our countries to ensure safety in light of such risks."

EXPERT SAYS BIDEN ADMIN'S AI SAFETY INSTITUTE NOT ‘SUFFICIENT’ TO HANDLE PITFALLS

The U.S. and the United Kingdom have already announced the establishment of institutes dedicated to these very tasks. 

The British institute, announced Friday, will serve as a potential global hub for "international collaboration on… safe development." The institute will also seek to work with leading AI companies, including those in the U.S. and Singapore, to help avoid potential risks. 

The institute will "carefully test new types of frontier AI before and after they are released to address the potentially harmful capabilities of AI models, including exploring all the risks, from social harms like bias and misinformation, to the most unlikely but extreme risk, such as humanity losing control of AI completely."

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also committed just shy of $500 million toward the AI sector to bolster the country’s development efforts – a significant increase over its initial $125 million investment pledge for new computer chips. The investment aims to inspire innovation and keep the U.K. at the front of the sector, according to The Telegraph.

The United Kingdom has sought a leading role in the development and regulation of AI technology, and it made that clear by holding the first international AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing developed the first computing machine to aid in code-breaking during World War II.

Turing considered artificial intelligence shortly after he invented the code-breaking machine, publishing "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in 1950. He discussed arguments of consciousness in machines and refuted arguments against the ability to develop such intelligence. 

"It is fantastic to see such support from global partners and the AI companies themselves to work together so we can ensure AI develops safely for the benefit of all our people," Sunak said in a press release about the AI Safety Institute’s establishment. "This is the right approach for the long-term interests of the U.K."

Researchers from the Alan Turing Institute and Imperial College London "have also welcomed" the institute’s launch, according to the prime minister’s office. 

After the public release of ChatGPT from Microsoft-owned OpenAI, the public’s imagination ran wild with both the positive and negative potential of the technology, with some professing concerns over a possible "Terminator" future.

Tesla founder and X CEO Elon Musk earlier this year said he found a "strong probability" that AI "goes wrong and destroys humanity" – a "small" chance that is "not zero," even though he did not explain how that would happen.

The Bletchley Declaration will seek to ensure that doesn’t happen, though, stating a strong resolve to "sustain an inclusive global dialogue that engages existing international fora and other relevant initiatives and contributes in an open manner to broader international discussions, and to continue research on frontier AI safety to ensure that the benefits of the technology can be harnessed responsibly for good and for all."
