Key Findings

• U.S. President Joe Biden’s latest Executive Order seeks to outline a policy roadmap for artificial intelligence (AI) including measures to safeguard against emerging risks and to orchestrate a framework for the responsible development and deployment of AI.
• The Order also reflects the Biden administration’s efforts to make AI more secure, to align U.S. policy on this issue with similar emerging policies in the European Union and United Kingdom, and to respond to growing competition in AI development from China.
• The Order directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to take the lead to introduce industry standards for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems.
• The Order further seeks to protect US-based data and places the burden for enhanced regulatory oversight on the Secretary of Commerce to improve transparency regarding how AI data is used by non-U.S. entities that may facilitate malicious cyber activity.
