Impactful Policy Frameworks
Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (2023)
This comprehensive Executive Order, signed by President Biden in October 2023, establishes new standards for AI safety and security, protects American privacy, advances equity and civil rights, stands up for consumers and workers, promotes innovation and competition, and advances American leadership around the world.
This policy will increase compliance burdens for AI startups, but also create opportunities for companies focusing on AI safety, security, and ethical development.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0, 2023)
Published in January 2023, the NIST AI RMF provides a voluntary, flexible framework for organizations to better manage risks associated with AI, emphasizing trustworthy AI system design, development, use, and evaluation.
While voluntary, this framework will become a de-facto standard influencing how AI startups design and deploy their systems, impacting product development and investor due diligence.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement Actions and Guidance on AI (Ongoing)
The FTC has been actively issuing warnings and taking enforcement actions against deceptive or unfair practices related to AI, particularly concerning bias, data privacy, and misleading claims about AI capabilities, leveraging existing consumer protection laws.
Increased FTC scrutiny means AI startups must prioritize transparency, fairness, and data privacy in their AI models and marketing to avoid legal challenges and reputational damage.
