Summary
President Joseph Biden issued an “Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.” The first-of-its-kind executive action establishes the Administration’s oversight of the rapidly evolving technology while Congress works to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework. The document covers a broad range of risks that AI poses – including the production of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, risks to cybersecurity, the generation of deepfakes, and privacy violations. However, it is devoted, in large part, to national security concerns, mandating various new responsibilities to the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and other agencies. The executive order was issued a few days before the UK’s AI Safety Summit.
