Biden wants tech companies to stop collecting data in the past The US, home to some of the world's biggest tech and artificial intelligence companies, is one of the only Western nations without clear guidance on how to protect its citizens.
The White House wants the US government, tech companies and citizens to work together to hold artificial intelligence accountable. Critics say that the US needs more regulation around artificial intelligence.
The principles for tech accountability and reform were announced in September.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), a US government department that advises the President on science and technology, has a plan for how to achieve the goals of the artificial intelligence bill of rights. There is a call to action for technology companies, researchers, and civil society to build these protections.
A senior administration official told reporters at a press conference that the technologies are causing harms in the lives of Americans that are not in line with the democratic values.
The use of artificial intelligence is changing our societies. It can cause serious harm which can affect minorities. Ethnic minorities are not as accurate when using facial recognition technology.
The Bill of Rights wants to change that. Americans should be protected from unsafe or ineffective systems, should not face discrimination by algorithms, should be protected from abusive data practices, and should have agency over their data. It is important for citizens to know that an automated system is being used on them. People should have access to remedies and be able to opt out of artificial intelligence.
A senior administration official said that they wanted to make sure that people were protected from the worst harms of technology.
