The effective governance of AI is one of the great challenges of the early 21st century. The AI in Government Act of 2020 (HR Bill 2575) represents a much-needed step forward to help address this challenge as the United States prioritizes artificial intelligence across the Federal Government, and embraces broader considerations on the effective adoption and governance of AI. The provision of oversight responsibilities and formalizing of roles reflects the recommendations of both industry leaders, those of the National Security Commission on AI (NSCAI), and academia to centralize efforts, identify resources, and promote equitable best practices in AI across the government. As the AI in Governance Act of 2020 passes the House of Representatives and moves toward becoming law, the Institute for Security and Technology (IST), who works with industry and government experts to solve emerging security threats, is excited to welcome Rep. McNerney (D-CA), Rep. Olson (R-TX) and Safiya Noble, Associate Professor at UCLA for this important high-level public panel discussion on the bill.
SPEAKERS:
Congressman Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-CA),
Congressman Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX),
Safiya Umoja Noble, Ph.D. Associate Professor at UCLA, specializing in issues of algorithmic discrimination and technology bias.
Moderated by Philip Reiner, CEO, Institute for Security and Technology (IST)
