U.S. President Joe Biden listens to his assistant for science and technology Arati Prabhakar at a meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco with his science and technology advisers on Sept. 27, 2023 in San Francisco, Calif. A lengthy executive order on artificial intelligence signed Monday by President Joe Biden is expected to give a big boost to AI development in Silicon Valley.
In the order, Biden said the federal government needed to “lead the way to global societal, economic, and technological progress,” as it had “in previous eras of disruptive innovation and change.” The explosive growth of the cutting-edge technology — with 74 AI companies, many in Silicon Valley, reaching values of $100 million or more since 2022 according to data firm PitchBook — followed shortly upon release of revolutionary “generative” software from San Francisco’s OpenAI late last year. The technology hasover its potential to dramatically transform business and employment, and to be exploited by bad actors to turbocharge fraud, misinformation and even biological terrorism.
Included in the wide-ranging order are guidelines and guardrails intended to protect personal data, workers from being displaced by AI, and to safeguard citizens from fraud, bias and privacy infringement. It also seeks to promote safety in biotechnology, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure and national security, while preventing civil-rights violations from “algorithmic discrimination.”
The most notable effects on AI development will likely come from requirements federal agencies must impose on government contractors using the technology, said Emily Bender, director of the Computational Linguistics Laboratory at the University of Washington.
