Executive Order on AI
- The White House released an executive order on AI, focusing on R&D, data access, safety, workforce training, and international collaboration.
- It lacks specific details and funding commitments, causing concern in the AI community.
Late to the Game
- The U.S. executive order comes later than similar strategies from other nations like Canada, China, and France.
- This timing suggests a reactive approach rather than proactive leadership in AI.
R&D Emphasis, But How?
- The executive order promotes increased AI R&D but lacks specifics on implementation.
- This makes it more of a general encouragement rather than a concrete action plan.
