Due to the US leading role in AI/ML development, it is of interest that President Biden issued an Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (here a Fact Sheet). By quickly glancing at it, the order requires that:

• Developers of the most powerful AI systems share their safety test results and other critical information with the U.S. government;
• Standards, tools, and tests to help ensure that AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy are developed;
• There are protections against the risks of using AI to engineer dangerous biological materials by developing strong new standards for biological synthesis screening;
• Americans are protected from AI-enabled fraud and deception by establishing standards and best practices for detecting AI-generated content and authenticating official content;
• An advanced cybersecurity program to develop AI tools to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical software is established.

These are very high-level goals, and we need that they are achieved not only in the US but worldwide (see eg. also the upcoming EU AI Act).
