U.S. President Joe Biden ordered government agencies to actively introduce artificial intelligence (AI) to compete with China. At the identical time, guidelines were issued prohibiting using AI to be used of nuclear weapons or media control.
CNN and others reported on the twenty fourth (local time) that President Biden signed a national security memorandum that goals to utilize the potential of AI while preparing for some risks.
This features a call for the federal government to speed up the introduction of AI for military or intelligence purposes and to quickly deploy the system in a protected manner.
For instance, it directs agencies to assist U.S. firms protect AI technology from foreign spies and to proceed advancing the production of semiconductor chips needed for a lot of AI products.
America is already using AI for goal identification as a part of a long-term project to develop algorithmic warfare, and is developing lots of of AI-related military projects.
Alternatively, it blocked using AI in relation to the deployment of nuclear weapons, in addition to using AI to manage the media. In other words, it prohibits governments from using AI in ways which are ‘inconsistent with democratic values.’
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a speech to U.S. security officials that day, “America’s adversaries are continuously attempting to surpass our military and intelligence capabilities,” and “We must move faster to deploy AI within the national security enterprise than our competitors.” He said.
That is comparable to the primary AI executive order signed in October of last yr. On the time, the Biden administration introduced strong measures, including requiring the federal government to report the risks of advanced AI.
Nonetheless, with only a number of months left in office, questions arise about its effectiveness. Particularly, former President Donald Trump pledged to cancel the AI ​​executive order if elected.
