Microsoft-backed tech group pushes for AI regulation: Heres what its suggesting
Summary
BSA, a tech advocacy group backed in part by Microsoft , is advocating for rules governing the use of artificial intelligence in national privacy legislation, according to a document released on Monday. The push comes as many members of Congress, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have expressed interest and urgency in making sure regulation keeps pace with the quick development of AI technology. The group is advocating for four key protections: • Congress should make clear requirements for when companies must evaluate the designs or impact of AI. Albright said as Europe and China push forward with frameworks to regulate and foster new technologies, U.S. policymakers need to ask themselves whether digital transformation is "an important part of an economic agenda." Though the bill still faces a steep road ahead to becoming law, BSA said it already has the right framework for the sort of national AI guardrails the government should put in place.
