President Signs Executive Order Mandating Federal AI Safety Testing Framework
WASHINGTON, D.C. The White House announced today the signing of a new executive order requiring all federal agencies to implement a standardized artificial intelligence safety testing protocol. The directive, effective immediately, mandates that any AI system acquired or developed by the government must pass an independent bias and reliability audit before deployment. The order establishes a 90-day timeline for the Office of Science and Technology Policy to submit a concrete implementation plan. This action follows growing reports of unregulated AI use within federal processes. Legal analysts predict a swift legal challenge from technology advocacy groups.
