Overview of the Executive Order on AI

President Biden signed an executive order on artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to regulate its use across the federal government and various industries. The order highlights the importance of striking a balance between AI's promise and potential risks. While safety rules for AI have broad support, the extent and type of regulation are still subject to debate, with some Republicans arguing against excessive attention to issues like bias and discrimination. The executive order also emphasizes the message that the US plans to lead in both creating and governing AI, targeting not only Washington and Silicon Valley but international actors as well.
