An executive order requires that system developers share the results of safety tests.
WASHINGTON: US president Joe Biden will take wider-ranging action on artificial intelligence today by seeking to increase safety while protecting consumers, workers, and minority groups from the technology’s related risks.
The order is the latest step by the administration to set parameters around AI as it makes rapid gains in capability and popularity in an environment of, so far, limited regulation.IBM said in a statement that the order “sends a critical message: that AI used by the US government will be responsible AI”.
As part of the order, the commerce department will “develop guidance for content authentication and watermarking” for labelling items that are generated by AI, to make sure government communications are clear, the White House said in a release. The Group of Seven industrial countries today will agree a code of conduct for companies developing advanced artificial intelligence systems, according to a G7 document.
Biden is calling on Congress in particular to pass legislation on data privacy, the White House said.
