The Information Technology Industry Council has submitted a list of recommendations to the Office of Science and Technology Policy on developing a national strategy to advance the development and use of artificial intelligence technologies.
ITI said Friday it has recommended that the Biden administration ensure that the National AI Strategy incorporates a comprehensive approach to AI risk management to ensure that the development and deployment of the emerging technology do not jeopardize the public’s rights and safety.
“The administration can accomplish these goals by outlining a whole-of-government, risk-management based approach that considers all facets of the AI ecosystem, which will support AI innovation and promote economic growth,” Courtney Lang, vice president of policy at ITI.
In its comments submitted to OSTP, the global technology trade association also underscored the importance of implementing transparency measures to create accountable and trustworthy AI systems.
ITI also suggested that the White House address U.S. AI workforce gaps, collaborate with international partners to ensure that AI policy approaches are aligned and interoperable and allocate additional funding for AI research, development, testing and evaluation efforts.
