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."

WASHINGTON: The White House will take "executive action" in the coming weeks to make sure the United States keeps its research and development advantage in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, quantum computing and next generation wireless networks, known as 5G, a White House official said on Wednesday. President Donald Trump discussed investing in what he called "industries of the future" as part of expanded infrastructure investment in his State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The White House, which held meetings last year to discuss these technologies, did not provide detail on what the actions might be. The Wall Street Journal reported the administration wanted to increase the government's role to quicken the pace of development. "Within the coming weeks we could expect to see executive action designed to preserve American R&D leadership," the official said.
