Biden to Issue Executive Order on AI Regulation

President Biden is expected to issue an executive order to regulate AI technology, fulfilling an earlier pledge. Some experts welcome it as a "first step" but say more detailed framework is needed.

Four pillars proposed for AI regulation protect vulnerable groups, update criminal code, ensure fairness/no bias, and focus on trust/safety.

Tech companies signed voluntary deal to share AI safety data with government. Order expected to build on that.

Some concerned order could be used to censor speech or advantage large tech firms over smaller innovators.

Balancing innovation versus privacy a challenge. Order needs to both protect data and not hinder development of new technologies.
