"White House AI Executive Order Expected to Exceed 100 Pages"

A reliable source who has reviewed the Biden Administration’s much-anticipated AI executive order, set for release on Monday, described it as potentially “the longest” such document he has encountered, exceeding 100 pages.

This insight came during an AI ❤️ DC event hosted by a media organization and Anzu Partners, boasting a rooftop view of the White House. The event was part of a busy week for AI discussions in Washington, including the second Senate AI Insight Forum held on Wednesday.

Attendees discussed key aspects of the upcoming executive order, which, according to The Washington Post, mandates that “advanced AI models undergo assessments before they can be utilized by federal employees.”

One attendee mentioned she received an invitation to a White House event coinciding with the executive order release, titled “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence,” hosted by the President.

Another participant remarked that the release date is strategic, following closely after the UK’s AI Safety Summit. This timing signals the US's intention to lead in AI regulation, especially as European Union officials are expected to finalize the EU AI Act by year’s end.

Several attendees indicated that the executive order, while limited in scope, harnesses one of the Biden Administration’s few unilateral avenues for AI regulation: leveraging the federal government’s position as a leading technology purchaser. By requiring advanced AI models to undergo audits before federal deployment, the order aims to encourage vendors to extend these evaluations to their non-government clients as well.
