| Tom Cruise an Inspiration Behind Biden's AI Reining Order The White House recently unveiled that a key motivator driving President Joe Biden's recent executive order on AI was the latest installment of the action film franchise 'Mission: Impossible'. The executive order signed on May 26th is aimed at reigning in the use of AI, and ensuring that it’s deployed responsibly. Cybersecurity researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said, “With this order, Biden is sending a strong message that AI needs to be monitored and used responsibly.” The order was in part inspired by the new 'Mission: Impossible' movie released last year, as the franchise's fictional character, Ethan Hunt, uses sophisticated technologies such as a voice clone to make digital copies of himself in order to carry out various missions. The White House is hoping that this order will encourage the responsible use of AI in day-to-day life, as many are concerned about the many ethical issues it can bring. The order states, “Artificial intelligence is a powerful technology with far-reaching implications for all aspects of our lives, and the US is committed to fostering its responsible use.” President Biden's executive order encourages the use of AI only for the benefit of society, while ensuring that it’s implemented in responsible and ethical ways. This order is a step forwards in regulating the use of AI, as technology such as the voice clone seen in the movies continue to be developed in real life. |
