White House proposes voluntary safety and transparency rules around AI

imdb · Oct 5, 2022

The White House this morning unveiled what it’s colloquially calling an “AI Bill of Rights,” which aims to establish tenets around the ways AI algorithms should be deployed as well as guardrails on their applications. In five bullet points crafted with feedback from the public, companies like Microsoft and Palantir and human rights and AI ethics groups, the document lays out safety, transparency and privacy principles that the Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) — which drafted the AI Bill of Rights — argues will lead to better outcomes while mitigating harmful real-life consequences.

The AI Bill of Rights mandates that AI systems be proven safe and effective through testing and consultation with stakeholders, in addition to continuous monitoring of the systems in production. It explicitly calls out algorithmic discrimination, saying that AI systems should be designed to protect both communities and individuals from biased decision-making. And it strongly suggests that users should be able to opt out of interactions with an AI system if they choose, for example in the event of a system failure.

White House proposes voluntary safety and transparency rules around AI by Kyle Wiggers

Expectations were high when the White House released its Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights on Tuesday. Developed by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the blueprint is a non-binding document that outlines five principles that should guide the design, use and deployment of automated systems, as well as technical guidance toward implementing the principles, including recommended action for a variety of federal agencies.

It is not surprising that there were some mismatched expectations about what the AI Bill of Rights would include, Alex Engler, a research fellow at the Brookings Institution, told VentureBeat.

Abhishek Gupta, founder and principal researcher at the Montreal AI Ethics Institute, pointed out that while there are shortcomings, they are mostly the function of a constantly evolving field where no one has all the answers yet.

Gupta and Engler detailed three key things they say the AI Bill of Rights actually does — and three things it does not:
