"White House Mandates AI Regulations and Chief Officers for Federal Agencies"

Vice President Kamala Harris announced new requirements for US agencies to prevent discriminatory use of AI, including verifying that AI tools do not endanger the rights and safety of Americans, publishing a list of AI systems used, and designating a chief AI officer. The move aims to prevent government abuse of AI and indirectly regulate the AI industry. The Biden administration is also beginning a national talent surge to hire at least 100 AI professionals and has swiftly grappled with AI technology through executive orders and voluntary commitments by leading AI companies. However, there are limits to what the US government can accomplish by executive action, and experts urge Congress to pass new legislation to set basic ground rules for the AI industry.
