U.S. gov’t to introduce AI policies
WASHINGTON D.C., UNITED STATES — The United States (U.S.) government released a series of measures to address the challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) ahead of a meeting with tech CEOs currently leading the AI market.
In an announcement, the White House said they are looking at creating policies to shape how federal agencies procure and use AI systems and investing $140 million in research centers to apply AI to climate change, agriculture, and public health issues.
The plan came on the same day that U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and other administration officials met with the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, ChatGPT-creator OpenAI, and Anthropic to emphasize the importance of ethical and responsible AI development.
According to Harris, companies have an “ethical, moral, and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and security of their products.”
She added that companies would be held accountable if they violate U.S. laws.
Last year, the Biden administration unveiled an AI Bill of Rights proposal calling for developers to respect privacy, safety, and equal rights as they create new AI tools.
Other countries, specifically in Europe, are also setting AI regulations in preparation for its widespread use.
