The Biden administration has disclosed key initiatives to follow through on its Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.
The action items include a search for talent to help implement responsible AI use while improving government services and a program to educate K-12 up to college undergraduate students about the technology, the White House announced Monday.
The National AI Talent Surge will help foster research, development and innovation and create policies regarding civil rights, privacy and safety, said Deirdre Mulligan, principal deputy U.S. chief technology officer, and Mina Hsiang, administrator of the U.S. Digital Service.

Meanwhile, a program called EducateAI will be led by the National Science Foundation to provide learning opportunities beginning in the K-12 level. The goal is to lay the foundation for future AI experts that can be recruited into the federal workforce.
On March 21, government officials will join AI industry experts in sharing insights and updates about the future of the technology in the public sector. Register now for the 5th Annual Artificial Intelligence Summit.
