🚨 OPED Alert! @AJLUnited is starting off the new year with @nytimes@NYTimesOpEd on how the federal government can strengthen guidance to prevent AI harms and irresponsible law enforcement use of AI
What they got right-
⏰ TIME CONSTRAINTS
technologies that are not shown fit for purpose and deemed too high risk will be barred after August 2024
What must change-
🛑 UNILATERAL WAIVERS
By allowing just a written justification to side step review processes and accountability measures, the current proposal undermines otherwise strong protections
🛑 NATIONAL SECURITY CLARITY
The guidelines need more clarity re: national security exceptions so they are not used as loopholes to evade accountability
