The executive order comes after a series of non-binding agreements with AI companies.

The order has eight goals: to create new standards for AI safety and security, protect privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers, patients, and students, support workers, promote innovation and competition, advance US leadership in AI technologies, and ensure the responsible and effective government use of the technology.

    The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.

    The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.

      Those agencies don’t have relevant experience and this will largely be guided by shitty upper level breauricratic types.

        breauricratic

        I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.

        Cheekiness aside, there are plenty of people with tons of tech expertise working in the federal apparatus. Let’s hope they’re put on this project.

          From experience with their results in a similar field: no.
