Biden executive order requires AI safeguards

President Biden is signing a sweeping executive order to guide the development of artificial intelligence. The order requires industry to develop safety and security standards, introduce new consumer protections and give federal agencies an extensive to-do list to oversee the rapidly progressing technology. AI has been a source of deep personal curiosity for Mr. Biden, given its potential impact on the economy and national security. The president had directed his staff to move with urgency on a policy that could maximize AI’s possibilities and contain its perils.
