On Monday, President Biden is expected to unveil a sweeping AI executive order, as reported by The Washington Post.
The effort comes amid mounting pressure for the federal government to take action on AI, over wide-ranging concerns the technology poses to national security and the economy.
The expected executive order follows other action the administration has taken so far, including securing commitments from top tech companies leading on AI, such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and Meta, geared at managing AI risks in July.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the U.K. government is hosting the first ever Global AI Safety Summit.
Vice President Harris will deliver a "major speech" on Wednesday from London on the administration's vision for the future of AI, her office said. On Thursday, she will represent the U.S. at the summit.
Meanwhile, the Senate will push forward with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) plans for weighing AI regulation with the next AI Insight Forum on Wednesday.
The forum will focus on AI and the workforce as well as areas of "high impact," such as finance and healthcare, Schumer said Thursday at a Washington Post Live event.
Schumer said there is a limit to the action that the administration can take through an executive order, underscoring the need for legislative action.
"They're concerned and they're doing a lot regulatorily, but everyone admits the only real answer is legislative," he said.
