Moderate Democratic coalition creates AI working group
Moderate Democrats Form AI Working Group to Tackle Potential Risks
A group of moderate Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives has formed an AI working group to explore the potential risks and benefits of artificial intelligence. The group, which is led by Representative Derek Kilmer of Washington, will work with the Biden administration, companies, and other lawmakers to develop "sensible, bipartisan policies to address this emerging technology."
The group's formation comes as AI is increasingly being used in a variety of applications, from self-driving cars to facial recognition software. While AI has the potential to improve our lives in many ways, it also raises concerns about privacy, bias, and job displacement. The working group will seek to balance these concerns with the potential benefits of AI, and develop policies that will ensure the technology is used safely and responsibly.
The group's formation is a sign that Congress is taking AI seriously. It is important that lawmakers work together to develop policies that will shape the future of AI in the United States.
