A group of U.S. lawmakers led by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., has called on President Biden to integrate the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights into his forthcoming artificial intelligence executive order.
In a letter to President Biden, the lawmakers urged the administration to use the framework’s principles as a guide when designing, developing, deploying and utilizing automated systems, Markey’s office said Wednesday.
Published in October 2022, the blueprint states that the development of AI systems must be centered on OSTP’s five principles: safe and effective systems; algorithmic discrimination protections; data privacy; notice and explanation; and human alternatives, consideration, and fallback.
The letter said the AI Bill of Rights “would serve as a strong foundation for the executive order, a position echoed by more than 60 civil society, technology, labor, and human rights organizations.”
