A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has introduced the National AI Commission Act to establish a commission on the approach toward artificial intelligence (AI). The proposed commission aims to formulate a comprehensive framework for regulating AI and address the potential risks associated with AI technology. The commission will bring together experts, government officials, industry representatives, and labor stakeholders to provide recommendations for effective AI regulation.
The Center for AI and Digital Policy supports the proposal, stating that it is timely and crucial for establishing essential regulations for AI and facilitating public involvement in shaping the nation’s AI strategy. This development arises in response to the persistent calls made by numerous influential figures in the tech industry, such as Elon Musk, who have emphasized the necessity of implementing measures to moderate the pace of AI advancement.
