On October 30th, 2023, The Biden Administration announced a big new plan to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). The plan that includes AI Regulations and safety standards is historic because it would be the first major set of rules for AI in the United States. You can find the full announcement here.
A Historic Plan to Control Risks
The goal is to control the risks of AI while also using it to help people. The plan would create new safety standards for AI and protect people’s privacy. This approach aims to stop bias and discrimination in how AI is used. It wants to support workers who may lose their jobs to AI while promoting innovation and competition in AI technology. It also coordinates with allies abroad on ethics and rules for AI.
Comprehensive Oversight for Responsible AI
This sweeping plan lays the foundation to oversee AI carefully. It calls on both the government and tech companies to make sure AI is developed responsibly. With this order, the U.S. is showing leadership in shaping the future of AI in line with democratic values.
This is happening at an important time when AI is becoming more advanced and used more widely in people’s lives. You can find the executive order here.
