According to the White House, US President Joe Biden will announce “sweeping” regulations on artificial intelligence use on Monday in an effort to lower the risks connected to this cutting-edge technology.
Biden would sign an executive order, according to the White House, mandating that developers share safety test data with the US government and establishing new safety criteria for AI systems.
Additionally, the injunction aims to prevent AI from being utilized to create biological products that pose a risk to public health and to deceive consumers.
According to a White House statement, the directive represents “the most sweeping actions ever taken to protect Americans from the potential risks of AI systems.”
Along with other international lawmakers, prominent members of the IT sector, and academics, Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit the UK this week for an AI-related global leaders’ meeting.
The gathering which will focus on growing fears about the implications of so-called frontier AI will also be attended by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Frontier AI, the most advanced generation of AI models so far, has prompted concerns around everything from job losses and cyber attacks to humankind losing control of the very systems it created.
Sunak and other leaders have increasingly joined the industry itself in arguing that current knowledge and regulation of frontier AI is likely insufficient for the challenges it will pose.
