Concerns Arise About Inadequate AI Policy from Unreliable Congress, Says Helen Toner
Earlier that same year, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which establishes federal technology standards, published a roadmap for identifying and mitigating the emerging risks of AI.
But Congress has yet to pass legislation on AI — or even propose any law as comprehensive as regulations like the EU’s recently enacted AI Act.
Colorado recently approved a measure that requires AI companies to use “reasonable care” while developing the tech to avoid discrimination.
Consider this example: in many state laws regulating AI, “automated decision making” — a term broadly referring to AI algorithms making some sort of decision, like whether a business receives a loan — is defined differently.
Toner thinks that even a high-level federal mandate would be preferable to the current state of affairs.
