newsweek.com — October 24, 2024, 08:00 PM UTC

Summary: The White House has introduced new rules for military and intelligence agencies regarding artificial intelligence (AI). Announced by President Biden, the framework encourages advanced AI use while banning applications that violate civil rights or automate nuclear weapon deployment.
