The Biden administration is seeking feedback on artificial intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT and is asking for public comment on possible regulation for the same. This is a move towards ensuring these systems function as intended.
The Trust Project is a worldwide group of news organizations that work towards setting up standards of transparency. This is an important step to ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of the media these organizations produce.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is seeking comment from the public on possible regulations for AI systems like ChatGPT. The proposed regulations take into consideration various field such as healthcare and could help mitigate the hypothetical threats associated with the technology.
In seeking more clarity on the matter, the NTIA said regulation could help prevent the damages caused by AI models and the ethical issues that could come along with them. There have been numerous incidents in the past where AI models have led to data breaches and copyright violations. A six-month halt on AI development has been suggested by researchers and tech experts in order to address safety and ethical questions.
The Biden administration is still assessing the potential hazards posed by AI development. President Biden spoke with his advisers last week to get more clarity, but as of now it is still not clear whether AI can be a major problem or not. The decision from the NTIA brings their stance on the matter since it states that regulations should be in place to prevent mishaps and threats from AI.
This situation bring to light the importance of The Trust Project. Establishing transparency standards is important for accuracy and trustworthiness of the media produced by news organizations worldwide. It is also important for public confidence in media produced by these organizations.
