With a sweeping executive order on Monday, President Joe Biden compelled businesses to begin sharing AI safety-test results “and other critical information” with policymakers. The order also calls on government to develop ways to combat issues like AI-enabled fraud, and to ensure the military’s use of artificial intelligence is ethical. (The Logic)

Talking point: This is the Biden administration’s broadest effort yet to tackle threats posed by AI, including everything from personal privacy matters to national security. White House deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed said the executive order fits within Biden’s “aggressive strategy” to ensure the safety and security of AI amid a rapid advancement in the technology’s capabilities. The new rules for companies mark a major step in regulating an industry that has not traditionally fallen under the mandate of specific watchdogs, and at a time when many prominent AI researchers and executives are calling for more oversight over the technology.
