Initiatives to regulate artificial intelligence are being developed and implemented at the state, local, national, regional, and international levels. This symposium began with a half-day tutorial on Thursday, February 27 for those not yet acquainted with major initiatives such as the California legislature’s SB 1047 (the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act), which Governor Newsom vetoed; the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, & Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence; the European Union’s AI Act; and technical governance measures.
On Friday, February 28, a full day of speakers presented a range of perspectives on these initiatives and others, considering various types of governance tools (such as procurement policies and disclosure requirements) that regulators may deploy, and offering assessments of which are more and less likely to be effective in promoting artificial intelligence systems for the public good and ensuring safe and trustworthy development of such systems. Speakers also explored private ordering initiatives and the role of standards in achieving these important goals.
