Bureaucrats shouldn't impose global AI policy at 'fancy, high-level' meetings, expert warns

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital about her thoughts on the rapidly advancing AI sector as Congress races to get ahead of the burgeoning technology. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's announcement that he is working with European partners to outline a voluntary artificial intelligence (AI) conduct code has left some experts concerned about how the government plans to handle such delicate policies in the future. "A lot of us believe that this should be done through legal institutions, through democratic institutions and not simply as a side agreement at a trade meeting between governments and industry," Marc Rotenberg, executive director at the Center for AI and Digital Policy, told Fox News Digital. "I don't think that's good for the public," Rotenberg stressed. "I think the public has a right to expect that whatever these decisions will be for artificial intelligence, they'll be made through political institutions and not just at these fancy high-level meetings."
