President Joe Biden issued a long-awaited executive order on AI Monday, a set of actions aimed at curbing potential risks associated with future iterations of the technology.
The order requires companies building AI with national security implications to notify and share safety test results with government agencies. The Biden administration also tasked the National Institute of Standards and Technology with setting red-team testing standards in order to ensure safety before public release, among other actions.
The requirements apply only to AI systems that surpass a specific computing threshold and will not catch any system currently on the market, a senior administration official said.
The executive order marks the latest U.S. government push to place guardrails around AI at a time of increasing enterprise adoption and looming concerns over the technology's impact on cybersecurity.
