"President Biden Issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence" by Tristan Williams

This is a linkpost for https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/10/30/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-on-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-artificial-intelligence/

Released today (10/30/23) this is crazy, perhaps the most sweeping action taken by government on AI yet. 

Below, I've segmented by x-risk and non-x-risk related proposals, excluding the proposals that are geared towards promoting its use and focusing solely on those aimed at risk. It's worth noting that some of these are very specific and direct an action to be taken by one of the executive branch organizations (i.e. sharing of safety test results) but others are guidances, which involve "calls on Congress" to pass legislation that would codify the desired action. 

[Update]: The official order (this is a summary of the press release) has now be released, so if you want to see how these are codified to a greater granularity, look there.
