The US government issued a directive this week to appoint a chief AI officer to each of its federal agencies regarding the safe and reliable use of artificial intelligence (AI). It has been asked to appoint a chief AI officer in a senior role in the federal agencies and arrange the use of various AI technologies and platforms under the same leadership. The directive, which is said to be mandatory, also mentions how to coordinate with the 100 business people in the AI sector to be appointed by the US government within this year.
US President Joe Biden has recently released more policies related to AI regulation, around one year after he issued an executive order. As announced by Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, US federal agencies outlined the 'do's and don'ts' of using AI. The order has given all federal agencies a deadline of December 1, 2024 to create and implement an AI-related security plan.
As governments around the world, along with large commercial and other technology companies, are trying to regulate the growing use and potential abuse of AI, the US has introduced such guidelines. In this, the US government is of the opinion that it has taken the initiative to maintain a balance between the risks that AI brings and the increasing innovation and has opened the way for the use of AI to be done methodically . The draft of this guideline was announced by Vice President Harish before going to participate in the World AI Summit held in London in November.
The guidance of the Biden administration released by the US Department of Budget and Management comes at a time when suspicions of misuse of AI technology and platforms in US elections are increasing. The media has mentioned that nearly 30 US states are working with the federal government to enact laws to regulate AI technology.
The US government claims that the directive, which is said to be brought to promote transparency and safe use, will create an environment to further increase the use of AI and make it more reliable. This week, the US National Telecommunications and Information Authority (NTIA) published a report on AI accountability, recommending additional tools and platforms for AI regulation, along with independent assessment bodies and action for those who fail to attempt appropriate risk management .
Earlier in February, the US Department of Commerce has also formed a task force on the regulation of AI. NTIA itself is also preparing for a discussion with the general public regarding the safe use of AI, according to Reuters.
Also, on Thursday, the US government added 166 pages of provisions to further tighten Chinese AI technology manufacturers' access to US technology. While AI companies are discussing mitigating the risks the technology may bring, According to experts, the US government has taken the initiative to regulate the issue that is frequently raised in the US Parliament.
