A White House official stated that the Chief of Staff office oversees the process, and White House principals have been meeting 2-3 times a week to discuss the issue. The White House is working to secure commitments from leading AI companies to combat government and private sector challenges.
This announcement was made the same day President Biden was scheduled to meet with a panel of AI-focused experts in San Francisco to discuss the technology's opportunities and drawbacks.
The White House is pushing to put guardrails up as AI permeates more facets of everyday life, including the 2024 election cycle. Biden has taken several recent steps toward regulating AI, including meeting with top artificial intelligence CEOs at the White House and rolling out a blueprint for an AI bill of rights. The Office of Management and Budget has been tasked with "draft policy guidance for federal agencies to ensure the development, procurement, and use of AI systems is centered around safeguarding the American people's rights and safety."
