- U.S. has issued executive order for safe and responsible AI use, but experts criticize lack of guidelines and legislation
- Purdue professor says U.S. is taking a "wait and see" approach, relying on voluntary commitments from AI companies
- Goal is balancing risk and innovation without stifling tech development
