Biden promises more AI laws, executive actions: 'We have a lot more work to do'

Center for A.I. Safety Director Dan Hendrycks explains concerns about how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could impact society. President Biden said Friday that his White House would continue to put out executive actions aimed at regulating and guiding the use of artificial intelligence but also said those actions won't end the need for Congress to pass AI legislation. "These commitments are a promising step, but we have a lot more work to do together," Biden said at the White House as he announced that seven AI development companies would work within a voluntary set of guidelines aimed at creating safe, secure and trustworthy AI systems. "Realizing the promise of AI by managing the risks is going to require new laws, regulations and oversight," Biden added. "In the weeks ahead, I'm going to continue to take executive action and help America lead the way to responsible innovation."
