ITI: New Congressional AI Framework Should Encourage Risk-Based Approach
WASHINGTON – Following the release of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s SAFE AI Framework today, ITI encouraged U.S. Congressional leaders to approach artificial intelligence (AI) policy and regulation in ways that are risk-based, reinforce U.S. leadership in AI innovation, include all stakeholders in the AI ecosystem, and evaluate gaps in existing laws.
“Majority Leader Schumer’s framework promotes further innovation of AI, and we welcome policymakers’ ongoing focus on this transformative technology,” said ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman. “Being transparent about how AI systems work is critical to fostering trust and accountability. We encourage lawmakers to ground policy in international standards, build on existing frameworks, and take a risk-based approach, involving stakeholders throughout the legislative process. We look forward to continuing to work with Leader Schumer and Congress as they consider this complex and evolving issue.”
ITI is the global leader in identifying ways to facilitate public trust in AI technology. Earlier this year, ITI detailed new recommendations on how the U.S. government can harness AI’s potential.
In 2022, ITI released its AI Transparency Policy Principles (opens in a new tab), which builds upon our Global AI Policy Recommendations (opens in a new tab). These principles aim to help governments understand how transparency can foster accountability.
