US lawmakers have drafted a bill calling for the establishment of a commission to determine an approach towards artificial intelligence. The bill, titled the National Artificial Intelligence Commission Act, aims to create regulations within the artificial intelligence industry.
The proposal was introduced by Representatives Ted Lieu, Ken Buck, and Anna Eshoo. It suggests the formation of a commission to develop a comprehensive framework for regulating artificial intelligence technology.
The bill aims to address potential risks associated with artificial intelligence technology. Ted Lieu highlighted the need to mitigate the risks posed by unregulated artificial intelligence in his statement regarding the bill. If the commission is established, it is expected that government officials and industry representatives will come together to address potential risks of artificial intelligence.
Merve Hickok, the Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy Center, has also expressed support for the National Artificial Intelligence Commission. Hickok considers the establishment of the commission as an important step for the future and commends the efforts of Ted Lieu and Ken Buck. Additionally, Hickok urges Congress to swiftly take action on the National Artificial Intelligence Commission Act.
Artificial intelligence technologies have gained popularity in the past year, leading global regulators to express concerns about the risks associated with the technology. Many technology leaders have also begun taking steps to slow down the development of artificial intelligence technologies.
Elon Musk recently signed a document calling for the deceleration of artificial intelligence development. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has also expressed concerns about the need for effective regulation within the artificial intelligence industry.
