The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issued a public request for comment on whether the U.S. goververnment should adopt policies governing artificial intelligence systems.
The NTIA’s “AI Accountability Request for Comment” seeks feedback on what policies can support the development of AI audits, assessments, certifications and other mechanisms to create earned trust in AI systems.
Much as financial audits create trust in the accuracy of a business’ financial statements, so for AI, such mechanisms can help provide assurance that an AI system is trustworthy. Just as financial accountability required policy and governance to develop, so too will AI system accountability.
Written comments in response to the RFC must be provided to NTIA by June 10, 2023.
