Companies that design powerful artificial intelligence systems must perform safety tests on the programs and share results with the U.S. government under a sweeping executive order intended to make AI safe while furthering robust innovation.
The executive order released Monday will direct multiple government agencies to issue standards and guidance regarding AI systems, according to a Biden administration fact sheet.
The order responds to calls from Big Tech, consumer advocates, and others for guardrails about how AI can and should be used, especially generative AI. Congress has held numerous hearings and a well-publicized forum about AI but has yet to move ahead with comprehensive legislation. Meanwhile, the European Union is expected to finalize its AI Act by the end of the year.
