"Obama's Influence and Carnegie Mellon Experts Shape Biden's AI Executive Order: Implications for Biotech and Healthcare"

Former President Barack Obama played a significant role in helping President Joe Biden draft the new White House artificial intelligence (AI) policy, which was unveiled through an executive order. Obama, who has long been interested in AI, held meetings with industry leaders and congressional leaders to address national security concerns, bias, and discrimination related to AI. Biden instructed his cabinet to work together to develop policy recommendations on AI, with the Department of Commerce leading a task force to study emerging AI trends. The executive order aims to safeguard against AI-related threats and ensure responsible use of the technology. Obama's advice and engagement were crucial in shaping the administration's aggressive strategy to harness AI's benefits while minimizing risks.
