On October 30th, 2023, US President Biden issued a new Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence. Similarly, the UK hosted an “AI Safety” summit (alternatively called the “doom summit” by British media) with two main aims:

• to consider the risks of AI, especially at the frontier of development,

• to discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action.

In this session, Harold Godsoe will give a summarized briefing of the Executive Order, explore the legal implications, and expound on the future of international AI safety and alignment regulations (through a legal lens).
