+title: "FACT SHEET: Vice President Harris Announces OMB Policy to Advance
+  Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management in Federal Agencies’ Use of
+  Artificial Intelligence"
+description: Vice President Kamala Harris announced the White House Office of
+  Management and Budget (OMB)'s first government-wide policy to address the
+  risks and harness the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), fulfilling a
+  key aspect of President Biden's Executive Order on AI. This policy mandates
+  federal agencies to implement safeguards by December 1, 2024, for AI
+  applications that could impact Americans' rights or safety, covering areas
+  such as health, education, employment, and housing. These safeguards aim to
+  ensure responsible AI use, including algorithmic fairness, transparency, and
+  human oversight in critical decision-making processes. Additionally, the
+  policy encourages federal agencies to consult with employee unions and adopt
+  principles to mitigate AI's potential harms to workers. It also outlines
+  measures for risk management in AI procurement, enhancing transparency in AI
+  use, promoting responsible AI innovation, and expanding the AI workforce
+  within the federal government. This initiative represents a significant step
+  towards establishing the U.S. government as a global model for the safe and
+  ethical use of AI.
