Photo: CHIP SOMODEVILLA / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA/Getty Images via AFPissued an executive order Monday on regulating artificial intelligence, aiming for the United States to"lead the way" in global efforts to manage the technology's risks.
With the rapid development of generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, the order also requires the development of new"guidance for content authentication and watermarking to clearly label AI-generated content." The gathering -- which will focus on growing fears about the implications of so-called frontier AI -- will also be attended by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Biden touted the executive order as"bold action," but called on Congress to pass legislation regulating AI; data privacy, and online marketing to children.
