President Biden issues order to control threats from AI.

The order issued by President Biden on Monday is the strongest step his administration has taken to date in addressing AI threats, ranging from national security to competition and consumer privacy.

"To realize the promise of AI and avoid risks, we need to regulate this technology; there is no other way," Biden said at a White House event on Monday.

Bruce Reed, Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House, said: “President Biden is taking the most forceful series of actions any government in the world has ever taken regarding the safety, security, and trust of AI.”

This order comes as countries around the world grapple with how to regulate AI companies and models, which currently lack sufficient oversight. Gary Gensler, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, said a financial crisis is “almost inevitable” within the next decade if AI risks are not managed.

Currently, the European Union (EU) is also urgently drafting tough measures on the use of AI in a groundbreaking law that will be fully adopted by the end of this year.

When asked whether the EU's AI bill would affect Biden's executive order, a senior U.S. administration official said: "I don't think we're racing. I don't think we're playing catch."

In May, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that owns ChatGPT, said his company might have to “cease operations” in Europe if the EU’s stricter AI regulatory efforts take effect.

Biden's executive order comes after 15 major tech companies – including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI – made voluntary commitments last July to manage the risks of AI models.
