After the European Union’s AI framework, now we have the US AI bill of rights.
Key Principles of the AI Bill of Rights
The AI Bill of Rights outlines five key principles that should guide the design, use, and deployment of automated systems:
- Safe and Effective Systems: Protection from unsafe or ineffective systems.
- Algorithmic Discrimination Protections: Equitable design and use of systems, preventing algorithmic discrimination.
- Data Privacy: Protection from abusive data practices and control over personal data use.
- Notice and Explanation: Awareness and understanding of automated system use and its effects.
- Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback: Option to opt out of systems and access to human assistance for problem resolution.
The AI Bill of Rights emphasizes the importance of creating safe and effective systems that protect users from harm. It advocates for the equitable design and use of systems to prevent algorithmic discrimination. The bill also prioritizes data privacy, ensuring protection from abusive data practices and giving individuals control over their personal data use. It mandates that users should be made aware and understand the effects of automated system use. Lastly, it provides an option for users to opt out of systems and ensures access to human assistance for problem resolution. This comprehensive approach aims to guide responsible and ethical AI development.
