Michael Kratsios, managing director of Scale AI and the 4th chief technology officer of the U.S., said lawmakers should ensure that federal agencies implement existing laws to advance responsible adoption of artificial intelligence and “pursue a use case and sector-specific, risk-based approach rooted in high quality testing and evaluation.”
Kratsios, a two-time Wash100 awardee, said at a House Science, Space and Technology Committee joint subcommittee hearing on Wednesday that the U.S. government should harness the strength of the country’s innovation ecosystem to push responsible AI development efforts forward.
He noted that Congress has the opportunity to do that by creating and funding the National AI Research Resource.
“Doing so would create a critical shared research infrastructure, providing expanded access to computational capabilities, high-quality datasets, and educational resources. Access to high-quality training data is the bedrock for developing responsible AI systems,” he said at the joint hearing.
“The NAIRR could serve as a crucial engine to drive the curation and availability of such data across government agencies,” Kratsios added.
