| 'Mission: Impossible' Movie Inspires White House AI Deviation Plan The White House has just unveiled its latest action to rein in AI development - and it was inspired by an unlikely source - the latest Mission: Impossible movie. President Joe Biden recently issued an executive order aimed at getting a better handle on the latest advances in artificial intelligence. He sought an approach that would continue the progress made in this field while protecting and promoting American values of fairness and inclusion. When interviewed about the motivation behind this executive order, the White House revealed that the latest Mission: Impossible movie starring Tom Cruise had a considerable influence on the decision. The movie portrayed a fictional technology called a 'voice clone' that could mimic a person's voice, and Biden viewed this as a warning to the potential risk posed by AI. This new order calls for the review of various AI-related activities, including its use in facial recognition, education, and employment. It also proposes prohibitions on using this technology for surveillance, monitoring, and discrimination. The order is intended to ensure that AI is being used for good. It provides a framework for how regulators and developers can work together to create ethical and responsible AI applications. Although some organizations may see this measure as a potential barrier to innovation, the White House believes the potential threats posed by AI are not worth the risks. |
