The US government is looking to leverage its role as a top technology customer by requiring advanced AI models to undergo assessments before they can be used by federal workers. This is in response to the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, and the global movement to regulate US tech giants. The European Union is expected to offer up its EU AI Act to protect consumers by year’s end, while US lawmakers are still working on bipartisan legislation. TechNet, a bipartisan lobbying group for the tech industry, released a Federal AI Policy Framework outlining the policies it sees as necessary to regulate AI. AI thought leaders have also released an open letter calling on governments to manage AI risks.
