President Biden has been pivotal in addressing the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, marking a significant moment in U.S. history as the first president to mention AI in a State of the Union address. His administration faced both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI technologies, particularly after the emergence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT. The potential benefits in various sectors, including healthcare, were matched by concerns over risks such as deepfakes.
Biden's administration took swift action, establishing voluntary commitments with major tech companies like Google and Meta to combat discrimination and enhance transparency in AI-generated content. A landmark executive order set standards for federal AI use, requiring companies to share testing results with the government. The future of these initiatives under a potential Trump administration remains uncertain, highlighting the need for Congress to act on AI regulations.
