"On Monday US President Joe Biden released a wide ranging and ambitious
executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) – catapulting the US to the
front of conversations about regulating AI.

In doing so, the US is leap frogging over other states in the race to rule over
AI. Europe previously led the way with its AI Act, which was passed by the
European Parliament in June 2023, but which won’t take full effect until 2025.

The presidential executive order is a grab bag of initiatives for regulating AI
– some of which are good, and others which seem rather half-baked. It aims to
address harms ranging from the immediate, such as AI-generated deepfakes,
through to intermediate harms such as job losses, to longer-term harms such as
the much-disputed existential threat AI may pose to humans."
