White House proposes guidelines for regulating the use of AI

The Trump administration is proposing new rules to guide future federal regulation of artificial intelligence used in medicine, transportation and other industries.

But the vagueness of the principles announced by the White House is unlikely to satisfy AI watchdogs who have warned of a lack of accountability as computer systems are deployed to take on human roles in high-risk social settings, such as mortgage lending or job recruitment.
The White House said that in deciding regulatory action, U.S. agencies "must consider fairness, non-discrimination, openness, transparency, safety, and security."

The rules won't affect how federal agencies such as law enforcement use facial recognition and other forms of AI. They are specifically limited to how federal agencies devise new AI regulations for the private sector.

"These principles are intentionally high-level," said Lynne Parker, U.S. deputy chief technology officer at the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy. "We purposely wanted to avoid top-down, one-size-fits-all, blanket regulations."

Obama-era tech advisors list potential challenges for the White House’s AI principles
January 12, 2020
https://venturebeat.com/2020/01/12/...hallenges-for-the-white-houses-ai-principles/

Former Obama administration advisors say the White House regulatory AI principles announced this week are a good start in many ways, but they’re incorrect in their oversimplified mandate to avoid overregulation of private business use, and that the Trump administration could face an uphill battle in its appeal to the rest of the world.

When asked how an administration with a less-than-ethical track record can be a leader in the ethical use of AI, Terah Lyons said the president’s record could keep the administration from mounting a campaign to convince others around the world to adopt similar principles.

“For better or for worse, the best way to lead in technology policy or otherwise is from the very top, and without moral leadership coming from the president himself, it may be really tough for the United States to claim leadership and to really drive countries around the world to follow,” Lyons said.
But she’s wary of one of the principle’s main tenants: the avoidance of overregulation.

Brits Desire More Regulation of AI

New research has found that the British public are in favor of increased regulation and more accountability in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

An independent survey of 2,000 adults in the UK by AI firm Fountech.ai discovered that 64% of respondents would like to see the introduction of additional regulation to make artificial intelligence safer.
Concern over the safety of AI varied according to age, with younger respondents adopting a more relaxed attitude. While 73% of those aged over 55 supported the introduction of extra guidelines to improve safety standards, only 53% of those aged between 18 and 34 concurred.

While positive assumptions may prevail regarding the might of the technology's functional prowess, more than two-thirds of those surveyed felt that AI should be kept under the watchful eye of mankind.

While William Shakespeare observed that "to err is human," machines can also get things wrong. When questioned about the chances of AI making a miscalculation, researchers found that 45% of survey respondents said it is harder to forgive errors that are made by machines than it is to forgive mistakes made by humans.

EPIC Urges FCC to Adopt AI Principles, Support Robust Regulation of AI
September 18, 2020
https://epic.org/2020/09/epic-urges-fcc-to-adopt-ai-pri.html

In comments to the Federal Communication Commission's Technological Advisory Council, EPIC urged the FCC to "support the establishment of a strong regulatory framework to ensure AI transparency and accountability within the agency and the private sector."
EPIC's comments are directed to the TAC's AI Working Group, which analyzes the role of AI in telecommunications networks and services.

EPIC recently submitted comments to the EU urging the European Commission to enact comprehensive AI legislation. In February, EPIC filed a petition with the FTC calling for a rulemaking on the use of AI in commerce. EPIC recommends that governments rely on the Universal Guidelines for AI and the OECD AI Principles as a baseline for AI policy.

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
Commissioner issues proposals on regulating artificial intelligence
November 12, 2020
https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/news-and-announcements/2020/nr-c_201112/

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) today released key recommendations for regulating artificial intelligence. The recommendations are the result of a public consultation launched earlier this year.

“Artificial intelligence has immense promise, but it must be implemented in ways that respect privacy, equality and other human rights,” said Commissioner Daniel Therrien. “A rights-based approach will support innovation and the responsible development of artificial intelligence.”
AI offers the potential to help address some of today’s most pressing issues.

However, uses of AI that are based on individuals’ personal information can have serious consequences for privacy. AI models have the capability to analyze, infer and predict aspects of behaviour and interests.

‘Avoid a precautionary approach’ when regulating AI applications, OMB tells agencies
November 18, 2020
https://www.fedscoop.com/ai-applications-omb-guidance/

Federal agencies now have guidance from the White House on how to regulate artificial intelligence applications produced for the U.S. market.

The Trump administration’s goal is to make sure agencies don’t stifle innovation when issuing rules intended to serve consumers or protect national security. As software makers expand their use of AI, the federal government is likely to be called upon to step in to regulate the technology.

“While narrowly tailored and evidence-based regulations that address specific and identifiable risks could provide an enabling environment for U.S. companies to maintain global competitiveness, agencies must avoid a precautionary approach that holds AI systems to an impossibly high standard such that society cannot enjoy their benefits and that could undermine America’s position as the global leader in AI innovation,” the memo states.

The Office of Management and Budget issued the document Tuesday, nearly 21 months after President Trump called for it in an executive order on Feb. 11, 2019.
It was supposed to arrive no more than 180 days after the order.

December 3, 2020
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...iples-for-u-s-government-ai-use-idUSKBN28D357

The White House said President Donald Trump is signing an executive order on Thursday setting guidance for federal agency use of artificial intelligence that aims to foster public acceptance of the technology in government decision making.

The order directs agencies to prepare inventories of AI-use cases throughout their departments and directs the White House to develop a roadmap for policy guidance for administrative use of AI.
Michael Kratsios, U.S. chief technology officer, said the executive order “will foster public trust in the technology, drive government modernization, and further demonstrate America’s leadership in artificial intelligence.”

The order emphasizes AI use must be “lawful; purposeful and performance-driven; accurate, reliable, and effective; safe, secure, and resilient; understandable; responsible and traceable; regularly monitored; transparent; and accountable.”
