Jobs and labor standards: The US says it will develop "principles and best practices to mitigate the harms and maximize the benefits of AI for workers by addressing job displacement labor standards workplace equity, health and safety and data collection…These principles and best practices will benefit workers by providing guidance to prevent employers from undercompensating workers, evaluating job applications unfairly or impinging on workers' ability to organize." "Everyone has a right to know when audio they're hearing or video they're watching is generated or altered by an AI."Įquity and civil rights in housing and beyond: The government aims to "provide clear guidance to landlords, federal benefits programs and federal contractors to keep AI algorithms from being used to exacerbate discrimination." "Trust matters," Biden said in a press event about the EO. Transparency: To protect Americans from AI-enabled fraud and deception, the Department of Commerce is being tasked with developing guidance for standards and best practices for "detecting AI-generated content and authenticating official content." That essentially means labeling AI-generated content with watermarks and disclosures. Here are the other doings in AI worth your attention. Protecting against potentially harmful AI-engineered biological materials: Agencies that fund "life-science projects" will be required to establish standards to prevent bad actors from using AI to engineer dangerous biological materials. "Companies developing any foundation model that poses a serious risk to national security, national economic security, or national public health and safety must notify the federal government when training the model and must share the results of all red-team safety tests." Red-team testing refers to having a dedicated group specifically targeting the AI system, trying to find security vulnerabilities.Įxpanding on the testing requirement, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is tasked with creating "rigorous standards for extensive red-team testing to ensure safety before public release." NIST will also help design tools and tests to ensure AI systems are safe, secure and trustworthy. So now AI developers will be required to "share their safety test results" and other critical information with the US government. Testing safety and security before AI tools are released: There's much debate about whether Open AI should have done a little more prep work before releasing its groundbreaking and potentially paradigm shifting Chat GPT to the world a year ago because of the opportunities and risks posed by the generative AI chat bot. Here's the fact sheet about the Executive Order, summarizing its main points, if you're not up to scanning the entire EO. The very long read we were expecting from White House setting guardrails around AI was released this past week as a 111-page Executive Order on the "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence." President Joe Biden and his administration say the goal is to establish a framework that sets "new standards for AI safety and security, protects Americans' privacy, advances equity and civil rights, stands up for consumers and workers, promotes innovation and competition, advances American leadership around the world."
