The executive order comes after a series of non-binding agreements with AI companies.

The order has eight goals: to create new standards for AI safety and security, protect privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers, patients, and students, support workers, promote innovation and competition, advance US leadership in AI technologies, and ensure the responsible and effective government use of the technology.

    Good thing we have a guy in office who grew up without a fucking computer.

        Yes, I’d rather have someone who grew up with some semblance of modern technology be the one at the helm enacted policy relating to it.

          Honestly given the outrage you’re giving in this thread I don’t feel like any regulation would make you happy, regardless of who did it.

              Outrage is doubling down when people gave completely reasonable answers to what you said.

                  Well if you’re fine with textbook answers, then you’ll be fine with people pointing out, in textbook answer, that the president has no real bearing on this since it’s not being written by him.

                  Or if you’re not fine with a textbook answer, then we can circle back to you being outraged for doubling down. Your call 👍

                    Lol, you keep assigning an emotion to me, which you are incapable of doing. It’s adorable that you’re so persistent.

                    No, I am not outraged at anything here.

                    Hope you have a nice day 😀 🥂

          American legislative policy affects literally every individual, business, and industry in the country. Do you expect the president to be personally experienced in IT, medicine, law, military operations, transit, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, marketing, finance, distribution, logistics, food service, sales, sports, fire service, flight, and literally every industry that exists in the United States?

          That’s not even the problem. He could still make good policies, since he’s not even making them himself. The issue is that they’re apparently non-binding, which means it’s simply a worthless gesture at best.

      You do know that Biden didn’t personally draft this himself, right?

      It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That’s how the executive branch works.

        Oh, sorry, for a minute there I thought he was the commander in chief and that the policies enacted under his supervision were to reflect on him directly

        Silly me.

          That was pretty silly. Especially given that “commander-in-chief” refers to his position in the U.S. military structure and has no bearing on his legislation and domestic policies.

          There’s a big difference between “reflecting on him” and actually being the one to write the policy. I don’t see why the former is an issue.

          That’s the “unitary executive” theory, which is specifically GOP doctrine.

      Yawn.

      There’s plenty to criticise, but this particular take is fucking moronic.

      Everyone grew up before insert current new tech.

      I grew up before cell phones, PC’s, internet, streaming, torrenting, etc, etc, and I bet a years salary I could explain all of those things in pretty good detail and many, many, many, many more than you, extemporaneously, (i.e. at the drop of a hat) , while drunk and high.

      Would you say the same about LBJ, who is THE reason we have NASA, moon landings, and all the derivative tech (including the internet you’re currently using)?

      Pick a dozen other valid reasons to criticise him, this take isn’t.

      Grew up without one? He’s 80. He probably didn’t even use a computer before he was 50.

            I’m basing my comment on my life experience of growing up in the 80s and 90s. Most people in the time period did not use computers. A lot of people thought they were nerdy. So someone like Joe Biden who is a “cool guy” politician almost certainly never touched one until he needed one for work. Total supposition on my part but I would put money on it.
