Advocates Seek AI Guarantees in Expected Biden Executive Order

An executive order expected from President Joe Biden on AI should make the White House’s AI Bill of Rights binding U.S. policy for federal agencies and contractors, advocates said in a letter Thursday. Signees included Public Knowledge, Public Citizen, the NAACP, the Center for American Progress, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Center for Democracy & Technology. Adopting the AI Bill of Rights will ensure AI systems used by government, contractors and vendors are safe and don’t perpetuate or exacerbate bias, the groups said.
