White House memo says US should stay at the forefront of AI development while safeguarding rights and privacy.
United States President Joe Biden has rolled out new plans to harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) for national security, as the global race to innovate the technology accelerates.
Biden outlined the strategy in a first-ever AI-focused National Security Memorandum (NSM) Thursday, calling for the government to stay at the forefront of “safe, secure and trustworthy” AI development.
The memo directs US agencies to bolster their semiconductor chip supply chains, incorporate AI considerations into new government technology, and prioritise intelligence gathering on foreign efforts to undermine US AI leadership.
“We believe that we must out-compete our adversaries and mitigate the threats posed by adversary use of AI,” said a Biden administration official cited by AFP, the French news agency.
