AI transparency is smart, but government really needs tech transparency elsewhere

FOX News

The world of gaming is being rocked by an AI controversy that could upend the multi-billion dollar industry. President Joe Biden's October 30 executive order on artificial intelligence is very broad and focuses a lot on safety but very little on freedom. It also provides a vague reference to minimal transparency by requiring AI companies to share results of red-team safety tests of their platforms which will eventually follow criteria of not-yet-developed standards by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Many other government agencies, including Departments of Commerce, Treasury, Energy, Defense and Homeland Security are invoked with roles in AI regulation and safety standards. Indeed, there are only a few lonely agencies not directly invoked to participate in regulating AI.
