27 Artificial Intelligence Experts First To Serve On Commerce Advisory Board

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a fresh appointment of 27 experts to the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, a group formed to advise the president and federal agencies on artificial intelligence policy. The NAIAC was established in late 2021 by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo pursuant to the National AI Initiative Act of 2020, making these experts the first to serve on the panel. "Artificial intelligence presents a new frontier for enhancing our economic and national security, as well as our way of life. Moreover, responsible AI development is instrumental to our strategic competition with China," Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves said in a press release. "At the same time, we must remain steadfast in mitigating the risks associated with this emerging technology, and others, while ensuring that all Americans can benefit."
