White House Takes Action on AI with Policy Plans and Investment

The White House has announced measures to address the challenges of artificial intelligence, including policies that shape how federal agencies procure and use AI systems, and $140 million in funding for research and development in AI. The move comes amid concerns about the technology's potential risks for discrimination, misinformation, and privacy. The plan coincides with a meeting between Vice President Kamala Harris and tech CEOs to emphasize the importance of ethical and responsible AI development. The US government is seeking to address risks such as deepfakes, biased algorithmic decision-making, and job losses linked to automation.
