Biden releases AI executive order directing agencies to develop safety guidelines

President Joe Biden signed an executive order providing rules around generative AI, ahead of any legislation coming from lawmakers.

The order has eight goals: 

• to create new standards for AI safety and security, 

• protect privacy, 

• advance equity and civil rights, 

• stand up for consumers, patients, and students, 

• support workers, 

• promote innovation and competition, 

• advance US leadership in AI technologies, and ensure the responsible and effective government use of the technology.

Industry observers said the executive order is at least a step forward in providing standards around generative AI.
