- Chuck Schumer, the majority leader in the Senate, unveiled the SAFE Innovation Framework for AI, calling on Congress to act swiftly and exposing difficulties in regulating a technology that experts find difficult to comprehend.
- By protecting jobs, ensuring accountability, and defending democratic principles without restricting innovation, the SAFE Innovation Framework attempts to protect AI systems from cyberattacks.
- In order for American citizens to question AI conclusions and challenge the decision-making process, Schumer highlights that the system’s ability to explain could make them more transparent to individuals who will be impacted by them and aid in the identification of biased AI systems.
- As academics attempt to comprehend how AI systems are built, demanding explainability in them is a technically challenging challenge. During development, millions of numbers were multiplied to produce replies by AI systems, however these numbers may not match to concepts that are understandable to humans.
- Although some attempts have been made, scholars dispute the tools available to AI developers to carry out Schumer’s plan, pointing to discrepancies between policymakers’ expectations and technical realities.
- Schumer suggests in an interview with MSNBC that congress should invite experts to have extensive discussions and guide them on the way to go. He adds that to pass legislation on this will not take weeks or years but months.
