On May 4, the White House announced that the National Science Foundation plans to spend 1.$400 million to establish a new research center dedicated to the study of artificial intelligence (AI) technology。In addition, the administration has pledged to issue draft guidelines for government agencies to ensure that the use of AI safeguards "the rights and safety of the American people."。Several key AI companies have agreed to cooperate with authorities in reviewing their products at a cybersecurity conference in August this year.。

It is worth noting that the measures mentioned in this announcement are also the first measures announced by the White House to deal with the risks of artificial intelligence.。

It is reported that as part of the guiding policy, as early as last October, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released the blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.。In the blueprint, the Biden administration sets out principles for the use of AI technology by private companies and government agencies, seeking to reduce the risks of the technology involving data privacy, algorithmic discrimination and the use of automated systems.。

Some analysts pointed out that the White House plan, it is in the artificial intelligence bill of rights blueprint to continue to build。

The Godfather of Artificial Intelligence Calls for More Regulation The United States Is at a "Critical Decision Point" for Artificial Intelligence

In fact, due to the rapid development of AI-driven chatbots, experts are increasingly aware of their dangers, and calls for their regulation are increasing.。

On May 1, the 75-year-old former Google scientist, known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence," Hinton (Geoffrey Hinton) was revealed to have left Google.。In an interview, he admitted that the reason why he left Google was to be able to speak freely about the dangers posed by artificial intelligence, and even said that he felt remorse for his contribution to the field of artificial intelligence.。

Hinton said that artificial intelligence will not only lead to the disappearance of a large number of jobs, but also lead to people's inability to know what is real.。He worries that if artificial intelligence becomes much smarter than humans, it will manipulate humans。Similarly, if the AI knows how to program, it will find a way to circumvent the restrictions placed on it by humans。

Paradoxically, Hinton also said that if a future AI crisis occurs, he doesn't know how to deal with it.。

In the same show, Apple co-founder Stephen Gary Wozniak (Stephen Gary Wozniak) also appeared, saying that artificial intelligence can open the door to deception.。He said that if someone wants to cheat you, using artificial intelligence technology, cheating will become much simpler。

Wozniak called for "some type of legal regulation" to regulate AI technology.。

On May 3, U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chairman Lina Khan also wrote that the United States is at a "critical decision point" for artificial intelligence.。She likened the rapid development of the new technology to "the birth of an internet tech giant," warning that without proper regulation, the technology could solidify head tech companies and give scammers a powerful tool.。

In response, U.S. President Joe Biden's (Joseph Biden) attitude is somewhat ambiguous, he recently said that whether artificial intelligence is dangerous "remains to be seen."。Instead, his aides are acting rather alarmed, with sources pointing out that they have given the president a promise to intervene decisively if the technology is used in a harmful way.。

Front Foot Schumer Leads Planning Back Foot Harris Interviews AI Executives U.S. Government Speeds up Risk Regulation

In fact, the U.S. government has also recognized the seriousness of the problem and has accelerated the pace of action.。In late April, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer outlined a governance framework specifically for managing AI and asked top AI experts about it.。The plan will focus on establishing transparency in AI systems and require independent experts to test AI technologies before public release, as well as disclose the people, locations and research modalities involved in the development of the technologies.。

Schumer said that given the significant and rapid impact of AI on industry, society, national security and the global economy, U.S. lawmakers have worked with AI leaders to initially establish a framework, but there is still a lot of work to be done to develop this proposal and improve legislation.。

In addition, after the White House announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence research center, U.S. Vice President Harris (Kamala Harris) and other government officials have also scheduled to meet with the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and an artificial intelligence startup Anthropic to discuss artificial intelligence technology and risk regulation issues.。

Sources said that the White House called in AI executives to emphasize to these companies that they also have a responsibility to deal with the risks of artificial intelligence development.。

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, its drawbacks are gradually exposed, especially in terms of data security and user risk, the shortcomings of artificial intelligence are gradually being amplified, if not constrained, artificial intelligence "advantages outweigh disadvantages" situation will be gradually reversed。

Currently, the EU has taken the lead in blowing the clarion call for AI regulation, but the organization also faces broader regulatory requirements, not just the high-risk AI systems themselves。

The United States, as the "birthplace" of the artificial intelligence revolution, has also discovered problems and taken measures in a timely manner.。We have reason to believe that with the unremitting efforts of the authorities and the deepening of people's understanding of artificial intelligence technology, more risk regulatory measures will gradually come out and become the precedent and reference for artificial intelligence regulatory regulations around the world.。
