The big question of Beware of AI Hype & Harm is 4. Who Will Be Ultimately Responsible? Despite the current Wild West release of new AI systems and the lack of comprehensive federal legislation in the US, regulation on AI is ahead and companies that design, use or deploy AI should kept up to date on laws and prepare for compliance. - The EU is set to finalize the “AI Act”, proposed Regulation Laying Down Harmonized Rules on Artificial Intelligence, in 2023. The AI Act “will govern anyone who provides a product or service that uses AI. The Act will cover systems that can generate output such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing environments.” It covers private companies and the public sector, and identifies high risk areas such as critical infrastructure, law enforcement, or education which will have strict controls and transparency requirements. (1) - New York City’s Local Law 144, which is set to go into effect in April 2023, requires HR departments to test their AI recruitment tools for bias, and defines situations when companies must tell applicants they’re using the tools. While an important step, advocates are concerned the bill has been watered down through lobbying efforts by AI companies.(2) - California, Colorado, Maryland, Connecticut, and Illinois are among the states working on AI and data privacy legislation. Most of the bills identify areas of consequential decisions that use AI (ex. Housing, employment, financial matters, etc.) and requiring governance, transparency, and making algorithmic assessments public. (3) - The White House released its “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights” in October 2022, which lists “a set of five principles and associated practices to help guide the design, use, and deployment of automated systems to protect the rights of the American public.” that include (4): o Safe and Effective Systems o Algorithmic Discrimination Protections o Data Privacy o Notice and Explanation o Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback - The FTC has provided guidance on AI including a February 2023 warning to companies to “Keep your AI claims in check”. It highlighted areas of AI claims in advertising that the FTC will be looking at (5): o Are you exaggerating what your AI product can do? o Are you promising that your AI product does something better than a non-AI product? o Are you aware of the risks? o Does the product actually use AI at all? Is your organization prepared to both use AI and be complaint with applicable laws? #ai #airegulation Links in 1st comment. ✨ ✨ ✨ 👋🏽Hi, I’m Lisa D.
