White House unveils new efforts to guide federal research on AI


The White House on Tuesday announced new efforts to guide federally supported research on artificial intelligence as the Biden administration seeks to better understand the risks and opportunities of the fast-evolving technology. fast.

Among the moves revealed by the administration was an adjustment to the US strategic plan for artificial intelligence study, last updated in 2019, to place greater emphasis on international cooperation with allies.

White House officials on Tuesday also held a listening session with workers about their first-hand experience with employers’ use of automated technologies to monitor, track, evaluate pricing and management. And the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology issued a report focus on the risks and opportunities associated with AI in education.

“The report recognizes that AI can enable new forms of interaction between educators and students, help educators address change in learning, increase feedback loops, and support educators. education,” the White House said in a statement. “It also highlights the risks associated with AI — including algorithmic bias — and the importance of trust, safety, and appropriate safeguards.”

The US government and private sector in recent months have begun to weigh more openly about the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.

Tools like the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT have sparked a wave of commercial investment in other AI tools that can convincingly write human-like text and generate new images, music, and computer code. The ease with which AI technology can be used to mimic humans has also prompted governments around the world to consider how it can take away jobs, trick people and spread misinformation.

Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Congress “must act quickly” to regulate artificial intelligence. He also convened a bipartisan group of senators to work on the legislation.

The administration’s latest efforts come after Vice President Kamala Harris met earlier this month with the heads of Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT and Anthropic. The previous administration also announced a $140 million investment to establish seven new AI research institutes.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on Tuesday also issued a new request for public input on national priorities “to reduce AI risks, protect individual rights and safety, and harnessing AI to improve lives.”
