 November 5, 2023

By  Joe Habscheid

Summary: President Joe Biden's recent executive order highlights the potential harm and ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). It emphasizes the role of bureaucratic institutions in preventing harm and advocates for the self-regulation of the AI industry. Critics, however, argue that it lacks substantial legal backing. Meanwhile, the international Bletchley Declaration pledges responsible AI development, yet lacks specific actions and deadlines. This post will discuss these developments and their implications on you, specifically as committed professionals in the fields of law, medicine, and consultancy in Mid-Michigan.
