White House Executive Order on AI Expected Next Monday

While state lawmakers in various parts of the United States, such as Michigan and Colorado, work on crafting regulations for AI, the White House is contemplating an executive order. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is anticipated to introduce an AI executive order next Monday, as reported by several American media outlets. On October 11, House and Senate Democrats had urged President Biden to issue this long-awaited executive order.

According to Axios, officials were set to announce the executive order at 2:30 p.m. EST next Monday. The Washington Post later specified that the executive order would mandate “advanced AI models to undergo assessments before they can be used by federal workers.” Additionally, the order might facilitate the immigration of highly skilled technology workers to the U.S., aiming to enhance the country’s competitiveness.

The White House has scheduled a briefing on the Biden Administration’s commitment to advancing the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AI on the same Monday at 10 a.m. EST, according to an email statement. Interested individuals can register for the webinar here. The briefing will feature Stephen Benjamin, Director of the Office of Public Engagement, Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the Office of Science and Technology, and Dr. Ben Buchanan, White House Special Advisor for Artificial Intelligence.
