.RepKenBuck & RepTedLieu, a bipartisan pair of lawmakers, are proposing the creation of a federal commission to determine how to regulate artificial intelligence.
Reps. Ted Lieu and Ken Buck are introducing legislation on Tuesday that would direct the White House and Congress to create a commission to lead the effort to write regulations for AI. The commission would be made of 20 people and would issue three reports over two years on how the United States would manage the"risks and possible harms" of AI while ensuring innovation.
AI"can be disruptive to society, from the arts to medicine to architecture to so many different fields, and it could also potentially harm us, and that's why I think we need to take a somewhat different approach," Lieu told the Washington Post. The commission would have equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. The White House would appoint eight people on the commission, while the House and Senate would appoint the remaining 12.
Sen. Michael Bennet proposed legislation in April to form a task force for understanding how AI affects user privacy, civil rights, and other elements of everyday life. Several senators last week attended the first of three briefings organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer , which featured an MIT professor explaining how the technology works.Schumer is developing a comprehensive bipartisan framework for AI in partnership with other offices and industry experts.
Buck previously introduced legislation that would block AI from controlling nuclear weapons without human supervision. Lieu also had AI write out legislation to regulate itself.
