Biden to sign sweeping artificial intelligence executive order

The executive order comes just days before Harris is expected to promote the United States' vision for AI regulation at Britain's AI Summit, a two-day event that will gather leaders from around the world to talk about how to respond to the most risky applications of the technology. The executive order signals that the Biden administration is taking a different approach than the United Kingdom, which to date has signaled a light-touch posture toward AI companies and is focusing its summit on long-term threats of AI, including the possibility that the technology overpowers humans.
