After months of speculation, U.S. President Joe Biden released the federal government's first comprehensive action around artificial intelligence.
Among the top priorities in the executive order released 30 Oct. are standards around privacy, security and safety, according to a fact sheet released prior to the text of the order. The sweeping order also seeks to prevent discrimination in systems while trying to protect workers' rights when the technology is used in the workplace.

"It's the next step in an aggressive strategy to do everything on all fronts to harness the benefits of AI and mitigate the risks."
