Biden administration introduces new AI guidelines for military and intelligence agencies
Summary: The White House has released its first national security memorandum on artificial intelligence for military and intelligence agencies. This memo outlines guidelines for AI use and sets deadlines for agencies to study AI applications, most of which will end after President Biden's term.
The memo prohibits AI from making decisions on launching nuclear weapons or granting asylum. It also bans AI from tracking individuals based on race or religion and requires human intervention for identifying known terrorists.
Additionally, the memorandum emphasizes the protection of private-sector AI developments as national assets. Intelligence agencies are tasked with helping secure these AI projects from foreign threats.
