The measure seeks to mobilise agencies across Washington, including the departments of commerce, energy and homeland security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden is rolling out the strongest set of actions any government in the world has ever taken on AI safety, security and trust,\u201d said Bruce Reed, White House deputy chief of staff. \u201cIt\u2019s the next step in an aggressive strategy to do everything on all fronts to harness the benefits of AI and mitigate the risks\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The order comes as countries across the world grapple with how to regulate AI companies and models that are not naturally captured by individual watchdogs. Gary Gensler, chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, told the Financial Times recently that a financial crisis was \u201cnearly unavoidable\u201d within a decade if regulators failed to manage AI risks.<\/p>\n<p>The measures come two days before vice-president Kamala Harris, the Biden administration\u2019s AI tsar, is set to give a speech in London about US policy, before attending the UK\u2019s Bletchley Park summit, where world leaders and tech company executives will discuss potential ground rules for the development of \u201cfrontier AI\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The EU has moved rapidly, drafting tough measures over the use of the technology in a groundbreaking law that is set to be fully approved by the end of the year. But the US is still assessing which aspects of it require new regulation and what is subject to existing statutes.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the EU law had influenced Biden\u2019s order, a senior administration official said: \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re in a race. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re playing catch-up.\u201d The US had liaised with the EU and a \u201cwide range\u201d of the bloc\u2019s member states about AI regulation, the official added.<\/p>\n<p>Leading industry figures including OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman have toured the globe this year to discuss the potential impact of the tools they are developing. Altman and others have struck a conciliatory tone with regulators but resisted calls to stall or slow the development of increasingly powerful AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In May, Altman said his company could \u201ccease operating\u201d in Europe if Brussels\u2019 efforts to regulate the technology were overly stringent. He later walked back the comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s order escalates US AI policy after 15 companies \u2014 including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI \u2014 made voluntary commitments earlier this year to manage the technology\u2019s risks.<\/p>\n<p>The White House will use the Defense Production Act, a cold war law used at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, to compel businesses developing AI models posing serious risks to\u00a0national security, economic security, or public health to notify the government when training these systems and to share their safety test results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To date, companies vying for AI dominance have typically preferred to keep the designs of their models private.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf organisations don\u2019t adhere to that law, we could bring Department of Justice actions in appropriate manner to enforce that,\u201d said the senior official. But he stressed that these requirements would \u201cprimarily\u201d capture the next generation of the world\u2019s most powerful AI tools and would not \u201ccatch any system currently on the market\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under the order, the commerce department must craft guidance on adding watermarks to AI-generated content in a bid to tackle \u201cfraud and deception\u201d, including deepfakes.<\/p>\n<p>The measures also seek to promote competition in the AI sector and encourage the Federal Trade Commission \u201cto exercise its authorities\u201d at a time when US antitrust regulators have warned against potential monopolies arising from the technology\u2019s structural dependence on scale.<\/p>\n<p>The order addresses privacy risks, urging Congress to pass data privacy legislation while seeking an assessment of how agencies collect and use \u201ccommercially available information\u201d. It also calls for measures to curb harms caused by AI on workers and medical patients as well as to address \u201calgorithmic discrimination\u201d in housing, healthcare and justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The extent to which the order will be implemented as intended remains unclear. While the White House can avail itself of certain laws to bring enforcement actions or direct departments to develop guidelines, it may only encourage other independent agencies, such as the FTC, to implement Biden\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<p>The senior official said that while executive orders \u201chave the force of law\u201d, Biden has said \u201cthat we were going to need bipartisan legislation to do more in artificial intelligence\u201d. Many of the president\u2019s priorities \u201crequire legislative action to fully execute\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009We are not at all suggesting this is the end of the road on AI governance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/3c6fb9ef-4185-4157-943c-5142ab4dc2f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the Artificial intelligence myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
