Takeaways From The Biden Administration's Executive Order On AI

On October 30, President Biden signed a highly anticipated "Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence" (AI). The 110-page order addresses a wide range of AI-related challenges and proposes a "coordinated, Federal Government-wide approach" to promote safety, privacy, equity, innovation and international cooperation while ensuring responsible government use of AI. This builds on the administration's previous AI pronouncements, including the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and an executive order directing agencies to combat algorithmic discrimination. The order foreshadows future reports or guidance from over a dozen federal agencies.
