Sinopse: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are rapidly becoming part of the fabric of everyday American life. From customer service to image generation to manufacturing, AI systems are everywhere.
Alongside their transformative potential for good, AI systems also pose risks of harm. These risks include inaccurate or false outputs; unlawful discriminatory algorithmic decision making; destruction of jobs and the dignity of work; and compromised privacy, safety, and security. Given their influence and ubiquity, these systems must be subject to security and operational mechanisms that mitigate risk and warrant stakeholder trust that they will not cause harm.
Commenters emphasized how AI accountability policies and mechanisms can play a key part in getting the best out of this technology. Participants in the AI ecosystem – including policymakers, industry, civil society, workers, researchers, and impacted community members – should be empowered to expose problems and potential risks, and to hold responsible entities to account.
