White House Implements New AI Safety Measures for Federal Agencies

In a landmark move on Thursday, the White House announced stringent new regulations for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools by U.S. federal agencies. This directive comes as part of a broader effort to ensure that AI technologies do not compromise the rights and well-being of American citizens. Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the government's commitment to this cause, stating, “When government agencies use AI tools, we will now require them to verify that those tools do not endanger the rights and safety of the American people.”
