In September 2023, the US Senate held a closed-door forum, followed by another forum in October, with AI tech leaders. In addition, the Biden-Harris administration has announced multiple initiatives involving AI, the most recent being a sweeping executive order on October 30 that addresses a wide range of issues such as AI's role in national security, public health, privacy, consumer fraud, worker protections and civil rights.
