Biden's AI Executive Order: Safeguards, Assessments, and National Security

President Biden has signed an executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) that requires companies to report the risks of their AI systems aiding in the creation of weapons of mass destruction. The order also aims to address the dangers of deep fakes that can manipulate audio and video to spread fake news or commit fraud. Biden's order demonstrates the United States' commitment to regulating AI technology, as Europe moves forward with its own rules. While the order represents a first step, Biden acknowledges the need for Congress to take further action. The goal is to govern AI technology to harness its potential while mitigating risks.
