Washington (CNN) — The White House rolled out a sweeping executive order Monday that aims to monitor and regulate the risks of artificial intelligence while also harnessing its potential, marking the latest effort to address a rapidly evolving technology that has sparked concern among world leaders. Top White House officials argue the executive order is the most significant action on artificial intelligence taken by any government as leaders around the world race to address the risks posed by the quickly changing technology. “You have to continue to be proactive, anticipate where things are headed, continue to act fast and pull every lever we can.”The executive order, which Biden unveiled at an event Monday, is sweeping in scope. On Thursday, the president met with his team, including Zients, White House deputy chief of Staff Bruce Reed and White House adviser for AI Ben Buchanan, for more than an hour to review the final executive order, officials said. The executive order announcement comes just days before Vice President Kamala Harris will attend an artificial intelligence summit hosted by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the United Kingdom.
