Biden inks executive order to curb AI risks to national security

U.S. President Joe Biden sought to reduce the risks artificial intelligence poses to consumers, workers, minority groups and national security with a new executive order on Monday. It requires developers of AI systems that pose risks to U.S. national security, the economy, public health or safety to share the results of safety tests with the U.S. government, in line with the Defense Production Act, before they are released to the public. The order, which Biden signed at the White House, also directs agencies to set standards for that testing and address related chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.
