The Biden administration announced the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is rolling out new artificial intelligence (AI) regulations for federal agencies, building off the president\u2019s executive order last year that requires AI developers to share certain information with the government.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a press call Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris said the new series of regulations, which include mandatory risk reporting and transparency rules informing people when agencies are using AI, would \u2018promote the safe, secure and responsible use of AI.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018When government agencies use AI tools, we will now require them to verify that those tools do not endanger the rights and safety of the American people,\u2019 Harris said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ll give you an example. If the Veterans Administration wants to use AI in VA hospitals to help doctors diagnose patients, they would first have to demonstrate that AI does not produce racially biased diagnoses.\u2019<\/p>\n

Federal agencies will also be required to appoint a chief AI officer to oversee technology used in their departments \u2018to make sure that AI is used responsibly.\u2019<\/p>\n

Every year, agencies will also have to provide an online database listing their AI systems and an assessment of the risks they might pose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris said the new regulations were shaped by leaders in the public and private sectors, including computer scientists and civil rights leaders. A White House fact sheet says the new policy will \u2018advance equity and civil rights and stand up for consumers and workers.\u2019<\/p>\n

OMB Director Shalanda Young said the new AI policy will require agencies to \u2018independently evaluate\u2019 their uses of AI and \u2018monitor them for mistakes and failures and guard against the risk of discrimination.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018AI presents not only risks but also a tremendous opportunity to improve public services and make progress of societal challenges like addressing climate change, improving public health and advancing equitable economic opportunity when used and overseen responsibly,\u2019 Young said on the press call.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each federal agency could use different AI systems and will need to have an independent auditor assess its risks, a senior White House official said on the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has been taking more steps recently to curtail potential dangers of AI that could put users\u2019 data at risk. In October, President Biden signed what the White House called a \u2018landmark\u2019 executive order that contains the \u2018most sweeping actions ever taken to protect Americans from the potential risks of AI systems.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among them is requiring that AI developers share their safety-test results \u2014 known as red-team testing \u2014 with the federal government.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, a coalition of state attorneys general warned that Biden\u2019s executive order could be used by the federal government to \u2018centralize\u2019 government control over the emerging technology and that that control could be used for political purposes, including censoring what they may deem as disinformation.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, a Republican, and 20 other state attorneys general, warned that the order would inject \u2018partisan purposes\u2019 into decision-making, including by forcing designers to prove they can tackle \u2018disinformation.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The Executive Order seeks \u2014 without Congressional authorization \u2014 to centralize governmental control over an emerging technology being developed by the private sector,\u2019 the letter states. \u2018In doing so, the Executive Order opens the door to using the federal government\u2019s control over AI for political ends, such as censoring responses in the name of combating \u2018disinformation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
