Observations

Late last month, US Vice President Kamala Harris announced the completion of all of the 150-day actions laid out in President Biden's October 2023 Executive Order on AI. Delivering on a key component of that order, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued the first government-wide policy to mitigate the risks of AI. 

The new OMB policy requires that US agencies implement safeguards when using AI that could impact Americans' rights or safety. This includes assessing, testing, and monitoring AI's impacts, mitigating algorithmic discrimination, and providing transparency into AI usage. Agencies failing to meet these standards must cease AI utilization unless their leadership can justify why doing so would expose them to heightened risks or impede their operations.
