    US federal agencies now required to have chief AI officer

    • All U.S. federal agencies are required to have a designated “Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer” who oversees all AI technologies used by the agency to which they are assigned.
    • There is also a binding requirement to develop new standards to “protect rights and security.”
    • Regarding transparency – U.S. agencies must annually publish a list of the AI systems they use, along with an assessment of the risks those systems may pose and how those risks are managed.

    ‘Binding requirements’

    The White House has announced new measures to promote the safe and secure use of artificial intelligence (AI) by the country’s government.

    U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement that all U.S. federal agencies must have a designated “Chief Artificial Intelligence officer” who oversees all AI technologies used by the agency to which they are assigned.

    Harris said the appointment of the chief AI officer is related to “internal oversight” aimed at ensuring AI is used responsibly. She added, “We must have senior leaders across government who are specifically responsible for overseeing the adoption and use of AI.”

    Risk and security

    Harris also announced two other “binding requirements” to promote the safe use of artificial intelligence by the U.S. federal government. One demand is for new standards to “protect rights and security.”

    “When government agencies use AI tools, we will now require them to verify that those tools do not endanger the rights and safety of the American people,” she said.

    The second requirement is about transparency – U.S. agencies must annually publish a list of the AI systems they use, along with an assessment of the risks those systems may pose and how they are managed.
