Will The White House's Artificial Intelligence "Bill of Rights" Protect Consumers from Big-Tech's Advertising Abuses?
The Biden administration just released a document that they believe should define the standards for responsible use of one of the more critical technologies that is set to define the future – Artificial Intelligence (AI). The document, "The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: Making Automated Systems Work for the American People," was released by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (WHOSTP). It lays out the five guiding principles that the WHOSTP feels should guide the "design, use, and deployment" of automated systems in order to protect Americans in the age of AI. The Blueprint emphasizes creating safe and effective AI systems, providing algorithmic discrimination protections, data privacy, clarified notice and explanations of how AI may be used, and providing alternative options for consumers that choose to opt out. This idea of governmental guidance in AI may seem innovative, but the truth is, at least 60 countries already have national AI protocols and the United States is merely playing catch-up at this point.
