Executive Order for Federal AI Standards Signed | Gestalt IT Rundown: November 1, 2023

President Joe Biden has signed a comprehensive executive order addressing the safety and governance of artificial intelligence in the United States. The order, running to nearly 20,000 words, signifies a significant shift towards enhanced AI governance, covering areas such as transparency, safety data sharing, federal standards, and tests, and ethical considerations across various sectors. It requires tech companies developing large AI models to share safety data with the U.S. government before releasing them to the public, addressing transparency concerns advocated by AI experts. This comes just before the US, China, European Union, and major tech companies and organizations attend an international summit on AI risks at Bletchley Park organized by the UK government. Are we finally going to do something about AI?
