Here's What We Know

According to The Washington Post, the executive order will use the government's procurement power to impose requirements on AI models before they are adopted by government agencies.

The executive order will require advanced AI systems to undergo examinations before being used in federal agencies. The White House will also simplify immigration rules for highly skilled professionals.

Agencies, including the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, will have to evaluate how to apply AI to their work, with a focus on cybersecurity.
