Biden administration unveils new rules for federal government's use of artificial intelligence


The policies, which build off an executive order President Joe Biden signed in October, come amid growing concerns about risks posed by AI.

WASHINGTON ― The Biden administration Thursday announced three new policies to guide the federal government's use of artificial intelligence, billing the standards as a model for global action for a rapidly evolving technology. "All leaders from government, civil society and the private sector have a moral, ethical and societal duty to make sure that artificial intelligence is adopted and advanced in a way that protects the public from potential harm, while ensuring everyone is able to enjoy its full benefit," Harris said. Disclosures from other agencies show AI is being used to document suspected war crimes in Ukraine, test whether coughing into a smartphone can detect COVID-19 in asymptomatic people, stop fentanyl smugglers from crossing the southern border, rescue children being sexually abused and find illegal rhino horns in airplane luggage – among many other things.
