White House Unveils First AI National Security Memorandum

The Biden-Harris Administration's Lael Brainard announced on October 24, 2024, the first-ever National Security Memorandum on Artificial Intelligence. This crucial document aims to cement U.S. leadership in AI by boosting research, securing chip supply chains, and fostering clean energy for data centers. It also seeks to guard against foreign exploitation, particularly from rivals like China, and promotes international AI governance. Tech firms and government collaboration are key—because even AI needs friends.
