The US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has now made it mandatory for US Federal Agencies to hire an AI Officer.
The AI Officer must make a list of all the AI Systems used by the agency and send its report every year.
Vice President Kamala Harris announced that OMB will have AI governance boards to regulate the use of AIs on federal agencies.
US President Joe Biden has stated that federal agencies should adopt more AI tools and its users to increase overall productivity.
The need to hire AI Officers and create AI regulations is all done to ensure that AI gets used in a safe way and mitigate its risks.
