Biden's AI Executive Order: Boosting Talent and Ensuring Safety Guidelines

President Biden has issued an executive order calling for a "governmentwide AI talent surge" to enhance the federal government's capacity in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The order requires agencies to establish comprehensive policies for internal AI tool usage and mandates the rapid hiring of AI professionals. The aim is to prevent discrimination and bias in AI decision-making processes related to housing, benefits, and employment. The Office of Personnel Management will lead efforts to attract and retain AI experts across the government, and a task force will identify best practices for hiring AI talent. The executive order also includes measures to ensure the safety, security, and trustworthiness of AI systems, as well as the development of international frameworks for ethical AI use.
