How does the US control artificial intelligence (AI)?

In the face of the strong explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), governments around the world, including the US, are having to find ways to limit the risks from this technology, such as misinformation. undermining democracy, job losses due to increasing automation, or the threat of AI-powered malicious hacking.

The Biden administration in May had a meeting with the heads of technology companies such as Google and Microsoft to discuss the development of effective and safe AI. Technology companies are now facing more scrutiny from US Federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission or antitrust and consumer protection law enforcement agencies. In 2022, the US government published a proposed AI rights bill, calling on developers to respect the principles of privacy, safety, and equal rights as they create new AI tools.

The message the Biden administration wants to send to tech companies is that they have an important role to play in reducing risk and being able to cooperate with the government. The White House is expected to issue guidance in the next few months on how federal agencies can use AI tools.

The US has launched a $140 million plan to set up seven new AI research institutes, requiring government agencies to draft guidelines for the safe use of AI. This also means that technology companies have a responsibility to make sure their products are safe, before they are released to the public.

US Senators in early June introduced two separate bipartisan artificial intelligence bills, in the context of the development of this technology causing many concerns for governments, lawmakers and people alike. use.

The first bill requires agencies in the US Government to notify people when using artificial intelligence to interact with them, and create a way for people to appeal any decision. decisions made by the AI.

Meanwhile, the second bill proposes the creation of the Office of Global Competitive Analysis, with the aim of ensuring that America’s competitiveness remains at the forefront of artificial intelligence technology development.

On June 1, the US and the European Union said they were moving towards drafting a voluntary code of conduct on artificial intelligence (AI), open to all like-minded countries to protect users in front of the reverse side of artificial intelligence join in.

In the context that many countries are moving towards legislation to address safety concerns of artificial intelligence applications, the “father” of the GPT Chat application – Sam Altman over the past few months has continuously had world tour to call for heads of state to have a voice, to create a global framework for AI to be used responsibly.
