As reported by The Guardian’s Dan Milmo, the White House, in advance of this week’s AI summit in the UK, has issued an executive order on AI safety and regulation.
Directives from the order include:
- Mandatory sharing of safety test results for AI models that could impact national security, economic stability, or health.
- The introduction of guidelines for “red-team testing”, where testers mimic potential malicious actors.
- Official protocols for watermarking AI-generated content to counteract risks from fraud and deepfakes.
- Development of standards for screening biological synthesis to prevent AI-assisted creation of bioweapons.
