The Executive Order is comprehensive, addressing a range of issues from requiring developers to share safety test results with the government to establishing advanced cybersecurity programs. It calls for multiple federal agencies to collaborate on developing rigorous standards, tools, and tests to ensure AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy.

Google Brain cofounder says Big Tech companies are lying about the risks of AI wiping out humanity because they want to dominate the market
Andrew Ng, a leading AI expert and adjunct professor at Stanford, expressed concern that big tech companies are using fears about the risks of AI to prompt regulations that could stifle competition, especially from the open-source community. Ng argues that the notion that AI could lead to human extinction is being weaponized to advocate for legislation harmful to innovation.
In May, prominent figures in the AI community signed a statement comparing the risks of AI to nuclear war and pandemics, calling for swift regulatory action. Governments globally are considering regulations on AI, focusing on safety concerns and potential job losses, with the European Union likely being the first to enforce such oversight.
