On October 30, 2023, President Joe Biden issued an Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intellence (the “AI EO”). Directing numerous actions by federal agencies, the AI EO reflects the Biden Administration’s intent to employ a range of legal and policy tools to promote US leadership on artificial intelligence (“AI”) while reducing the associated risks.1
The AI EO directs the creation, over the next year, of best practices and regulations to promote safety, cybersecurity, privacy, fairness, and competition. Government action will also include studies on uses of AI across government agencies and industries, and measures to support development of the technology.
