Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has selected his running mate, lawyer and technologist Nicole Shanahan, on Tuesday as he still looks to obtain a spot on the ballot for his campaign for the White House.
"I wanted a vice president who shared my passion for wholesome, healthy foods that are chemical-free from regenerative agriculture for good soils. I found exactly the right person who, among other things, she has used over the past several years cutting-edge technology, including AI, to calculate the catastrophic health consequences of toxins in our soil, our air, our water, and our food," Robert Kennedy Jr told the gathering prior to the official announcement.
"Technology has been very important for my future vice president. This is important because I also wanted a vice president who shares my indignation about the participation of and as a partner in the censorship of and the surveillance and the information warfare that our government is currently waging against the American people."
"That's why I'm bringing on someone with deep knowledge of how big tech uses AI to manipulate the public. I want a partner with strong ideas about how to reverse those dire threats to democracy and to our freedoms. I managed to find a technologist at the forefront of AI. She has spent the last decade relying on cutting-edge neural networks and AI science to identify abuses in our government."
Nicole Shanahan is a Democratic donor who is the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. She also funded Kennedy's Super Bowl campaign advertisement
