Draft rules from the White House would require federal agencies to assess AI systems currently in use in law enforcement, health care, and other areas—and to shut down any algorithms doing harm.

Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

    Because I’ve seen these things work and I know for damn sure that if those people have a chance to vote for me they wouldn’t do it in a million years.

    I’ve learned better than the trust narratives of how you should be a good person.

    All I will get is yet more rounds of talk about how everyone else needs help while all the issues I actually care about are left to wither and die.

    So fuck them, I’m voting based on the issues that I feel are important and impact my life.

      People are dying because of conservative policies but you think AI is more important than that. That’s sad. I would vote for you if your rights were being denied.
