White paper offers ethics advice for use of AI in the US

In terms of the practical, the paper goes on to cite some government measures that establish redress mechanisms in other technologies, specifically within data protection, those being Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), both of which have been much-lauded by advocates for ethical use of technology. — Robot head vector created by pch.vector - www.freepik.com

A new white paper seeks to help government and other groups build a responsible future for artificial intelligence as the technology continues to evolve, specifically stressing the importance of creating redress mechanisms that can handle flaws as they emerge.

Published by the University of California, Berkeley, the paper is titled AI's Redress Problem, and it joins an accelerating, cross-sector conversation about how to ensure that ethics and responsibility are part of artificial intelligence's future. Government is no stranger to this conversation, with New York City, for example, having released a 116-page strategic vision for how to responsibly benefit from AI. This new white paper encourages all stakeholders — government among them — to consider potential harm that AI can do, and to plan for addressing that.
