Biden Sets Clear Guidelines for AI Use, But Leaves Room for Flexibility

The memo prohibits the use of AI to skirt existing protocols around deploying nuclear weapons and bars the use of AI to limit free speech. The document also sets timelines for agency reviews to ensure their restrictions are enforced, even during times of crisis.
