The Biden administration unveiled new policies to regulate the federal government's use of artificial intelligence, aiming to address concerns about workforce risks, privacy, and discrimination.
The policies require federal agencies to ensure AI use does not endanger Americans' rights and safety, publish a list of AI systems used, and appoint a chief AI officer.
Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the importance of adopting AI ethically to protect the public and maximize benefits.
Federal agencies must implement safeguards to assess AI's impacts, mitigate risks of discrimination, and ensure transparency in AI usage.
The policies also involve red-teaming tests to ensure safety standards before releasing advanced AI platforms to the public.
