Biden directs US intelligence agencies to adopt AI for national security

President Biden has issued a national security memo directing U.S. intelligence agencies to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance national security. This marks the first formal push for federal agencies to use AI to monitor and counter adversaries' technological advancements. The memo emphasizes that AI implementation must align with democratic values and protect human rights. It also calls for collaboration with U.S. allies to ensure compliance with international law while developing AI technologies. Additionally, the memo addresses the need for improved security and diversity in advanced computer chip supply chains. The AI Safety Institute will oversee these efforts, ensuring responsible use of AI across national security agencies.
