The Office of Management and Budget released draft guidance on 1 November 2023 to implement Executive Order 14110 for federal agencies’ own use of AI, open for comment until 5 December 2023. Agencies would designate Chief AI Officers, large agencies would set up AI governance boards chaired by a deputy secretary, and AI that affects rights or safety would need impact assessments, independent evaluation, real-world testing, monitoring and notice to affected people. Uses in areas including health, education, employment, housing, federal benefits, law enforcement and immigration would be presumed to affect rights or safety.

Why it matters

US federal agencies using AI in health, jobs, housing, policing or immigration faced proposed mandatory impact assessments, testing and public notice, and every agency would need a Chief AI Officer.
