hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. president biden signs an executive order designed to manage some of the risks linked to artificial intelligence. the order provides guidance on labelling ai—generated content. it's one of the world's most exclusive groupings — the billionaires club.

lam i am sadly not a member of. and it has a new member. the former basketballer magicjohnson hasjoined the ranks of the most wealthy — after he was declared a billionaire by forbes, making him only the fourth athlete to join the exclusive club. magicjohnson�*s wealth is estimated to be 1.2bn dollars — that's 990 million quid. johnson has investments in numerous companies including ownership stakes in various sports teams. but forbes says his stake in a life insurance company holds most of his wealth. other athlete billionaires are former nba player michaeljordan, current basketballer lebronjames, and the golfer tiger woods. for more, let's speak to roland lazenby, the author of magic: the life of earvin "magic" johnson. hejoins us now from virginia. you have just written a book about

magicjohnson. are you surprised that he hasjoined magicjohnson. are you surprised that he has joined the billionaires club? i that he has “oined the billionaires club? . ., , that he has “oined the billionaires club? . . , ~:: :: club? i am! he was in the 600 million range _ club? i am! he was in the 600 million range for— club? i am! he was in the 600 million range for quite - club? i am! he was in the 600 million range for quite a - club? i am! he was in the 600| million range for quite a while. club? i am! he was in the 600 - million range for quite a while. but he has worked furiously to get there. he is bought and sold businesses, he recently acquired a portion of the washington commanders, the national football league team, and he has wanted to make lots and lots of money to keep up make lots and lots of money to keep up with another man he has been very competitive with, michaeljordan. competitive with, michael jordan. they competitive with, michaeljordan. they have a rivalry here. one thing i thought was really interesting is i thought was really interesting is i was reading thatjohnson could have become a billionaire sooner had he not turn shares in nike down. that is a fabrication. he came up with that's probably because of his long resentment that michaeljordan, who came into the league, the nba, five years after magicjohnson, got

a percentage in his nike deal that soon exploded into tens of millions and then more than $100 million a year. magicjohnson never had such a deal. he was with congress. and he came up about the time there was a television programme and hbo here in america the fact that he had done that. and he claimed that nike offered him stock. his lawyer at the time, george andrews as well as sonny vaquero, in charge of nike basketball at the time said it's preposterous. nobody had ever offered magicjohnson any stock. at that reflex just held the badly —— this reflected how badly he wanted to compete with michaeljordan. tell to compete with michaeljordan. tell me about the roots to compete with michaeljordan. tell me about the roots that magic johnson came from. i hate to use the phrase "humble roots" but does

describe how much he has worked to get to where he is today. he was from a large _ get to where he is today. he was from a large family, _ get to where he is today. he was from a large family, the - get to where he is today. he was from a large family, the son - get to where he is today. he was | from a large family, the son of an auto worker, and his mother, a cafeteria worker. he also helped his father who had a trash hauling business on the side, but mostly there were two black businessmen in lansing michigan where magic grew up, and he absolutely idolised then, one of them magicjohnson worked for, cleaning his office building at night and magic let go up to the executive suite when everyone was gone for the day, plop his feet up on the desk, he was a teenager at the time, and he would dream of one day it being a big powerful businessman.— day it being a big powerful businessman. ~ ., ., ., , businessman. what i thought was so interestinu businessman. what i thought was so interesting about _ businessman. what i thought was so interesting about this _ businessman. what i thought was so interesting about this billionaires - interesting about this billionaires club on the number of nba players are former basketball players who are former basketball players who are there. i wouldn't of expected

bringing in safeguards in artificial intelligence, for the united states. let's have a listen to what he had to say. i'm about to sign an executive order, an executive order that is the most significant action any government anywhere in the world has ever taken on a high safety, security and trust. this order bails on the critical step sweep already taken to ensuring the ai bill of rights to bring together leading ai companies. —— this order builds on... who agreed to voluntarily make certain commitments to make sure ai you are in dc, where this announcement was made today, what do you have to say on this announcement? i was made today, what do you have to say on this announcement?— say on this announcement? i think it's very striking — say on this announcement? i think it's very striking that _ say on this announcement? i think it's very striking that he _ say on this announcement? i think it's very striking that he now- it's very striking that he now released an executive order. if you think back, actually, they started the government with the companies on a more voluntary basis and now very quickly after that, he now has presented this executive order and

when of the reasons is national security, so a lot of worry about what ai can do, especially in the year 2024 but the election coming. we are talking about deep fake. we're talking about what measures are there, the so—called watermarks that people, especially voters can actually distinguish between something that is a fake and something that is a fake and something that is genuine election material, but there are so many other facets to that. we in the media know how very well much every day ai has become part of our working processes. so it is multifaceted as a challenge. i think it interesting that the us is becoming much more active on that one the european commission already started in 2021 presenting the first direction on that and at the end of this year already are going to adopt this directive, which is quite stringent on companies, what they have to do and transparency in safety.

eddiejones has resigned as head coach of the national team jones will depart the position on 25 november 2023. it follows a poor world cup campaign which saw the wallabies lose to fiji and wales and fail to reach the knockout stage jones won just two out of nine games while in charge the english ice hockey association says it will be mandatory to wear a neck guard during "all on—ice activities" from next year onwards. the announcement comes following the death of nottingham panthers forward adam johnson. tributes have been paid tojohnson who died after suffering a serious cut to his neck from a skate during saturday's challenge cup match against the sheffield steelers. the association also said their "strong recommendation" is that all players wear neck guards with immediate effect. the association oversees all levels of ice hockey in england below the elite league — the top division of ice hockey in the uk whichjohnson played in. neck guards are currently mandatory for under 18s in a sport, but at a senior level, hardly anybody wears them. we are talking but are
