Experts call Biden executive order on AI a 'first step,' but some express doubts

Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner has the latest on the president's focus amid calls for an impeachment inquiry on'Special Report.' President Biden is expected to unveil an executive order (EO) regulating artificial intelligence, a step long called for by some experts. "I applaud the administration for taking the first step," Phil Siegel, the founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation (CAPTRS), told Fox News Digital. "We should applaud the first step through the EO but quickly need a framework for the detailed steps beyond that truly safeguard our freedoms." Siegel's comments come after The Washington Post reported Wednesday on Biden administration plans for an executive order on AI, which the paper called the "most significant attempt" the government has so far made to regular a technology that has been advancing at a seemingly rapid pace. The move follows through on Biden's pledge earlier this year, when he vowed executive action that would ensure "America leads the way toward responsible AI innovation."
