With 600+ AI-related bills introduced this year, states are taking charge of artificial intelligence regulation in the US. From deepfakes to algorithmic discrimination, learn how state legislatures are addressing AI's biggest challenges.

Developments in the Artificial Intelligence space: This week is set to be an important one for AI with an international summit held in Korea and a sign-off on the AI Act in Brussels

In last year's EO 14110 ( https://lnkd.in/gAhfvuZM) there is a requirement for OMB to issue guidance on the "collection, reporting, and publication of agency AI use cases". The intent is to improve the transparency of federal agencies' use of AI, but it is also true that we can identify use cases that are common among agencies to find a way to develop them collaboratively in a joint technology environment such as the Joint Analysis Data Environment at OFR. https://lnkd.in/gEvdEtyi Why build many when you can build once and deploy many?

✍️ The AI Task Force and the introduction of new AI bills over the next year is just the beginning. Collaboration between private and public sectors in the U.S. can create long-lasting regulations and incentivize the right behaviors by market participants in AI. A timely new article in Nextgov/FCW written by stackArmor's Gaurav Pal discusses how the U.S. can move quickly and set a model for the world. ⬇️

Heads up! Following the signatures of the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, the AI Act will be published in the Official Journal of the EU in the coming days and will "enter into force" 20 days after publication, then formally apply 24 months later. Beware nuanced application dates for Chapter I, II, & III AI models!

The AI Policy and Governance Working Group (https://lnkd.in/et9tMrpY) responded to the US Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration's request for comment on open foundation AI models. We note the many benefits of access to open foundation models, including for transparency and equity. We recommend that the Biden-Harris Administration consider sociotechnical approaches such as forms of staged and structured access--that is, a policy bias towards openness with friction.

Artificial Intelligence legislation is on the rise. States are stepping up to fill the regulatory gaps as federal action lags. Discover how 600+ AI-related bills are shaping the future of tech governance this month on the FOCUS blog. #AI #TechPolicy

Nearly there! The EU Council gave its green light to the AI Act. In a couple of days, the Act will be formally published and enter into force 20 days later (somewhere mid/end of June). Over the coming period, companies and governments will have to assess whether their AI systems fall within the scope of the AI Act and determine what the consequences of that are. Stay tuned for the final publication and entry into force. How will it impact your company or business?
