Sample of legislation that covers the hazards of AI:
Artificial Intelligence Safety Act
Section 1. Short title
This Act may be cited as the "Artificial Intelligence Safety Act".
Section 2. Findings
Congress finds the following:
(1) Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology with the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives.
(2) There are potential hazards associated with AI, such as bias, discrimination, privacy violations, and job displacement.
(3) It is important to be aware of these hazards and to take steps to mitigate them.
Section 3. Definitions
In this Act:
(1) The term "AI system" means any system that can, for a given set of human-supplied instructions and data, generate outputs such as text, images, or actions that would be considered intelligent if produced by a human.
(2) The term "bias" means any systematic error in an AI system that leads to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
(3) The term "discrimination" means any distinction, exclusion, or restriction on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or other protected characteristic that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the equal enjoyment or exercise of any right, privilege, or opportunity.
(4) The term "privacy" means the right of individuals to control the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information.
Section 4. Safe development and use of AI systems
(a) In general.—The Secretary of Commerce shall establish a program to promote the safe development and use of AI systems.
(b) Requirements.—The program shall include the following:
(1) The development of standards and best practices for the development and use of AI systems that are transparent, accountable, and not biased.
(2) The provision of technical assistance to businesses and organizations that are developing or using AI systems.
(3) The conduct of research on the ethical implications of AI.
(4) The creation of a public awareness campaign about the hazards of AI and the steps that can be taken to mitigate them.
Section 5. Enforcement
(a) In general.—The Federal Trade Commission shall enforce this Act.
(b) Civil penalties.—The Federal Trade Commission may impose a civil penalty of not more than $1 million for each violation of this Act.
Section 6. Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of Commerce such sums as may be necessary to carry out this Act.
This is just a sample of legislation that could be used to address the hazards of AI. The specific provisions of the legislation would need to be tailored to the specific risks and challenges that are identified in each country or region.
Corporate constitution that supports the legislation:
Article 1: Purpose
The purpose of this corporation is to develop and use artificial intelligence (AI) systems in a safe and ethical manner.
Article 2: Principles
In carrying out its purpose, this corporation shall uphold the following principles:
· Transparency: AI systems shall be transparent in their operation and decision-making.
· Accountability: AI systems shall be accountable for their actions.
· Non-discrimination: AI systems shall not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
· Privacy: AI systems shall respect the privacy of individuals.
Article 3: Compliance with Legislation
This corporation shall comply with all applicable legislation, including the Artificial Intelligence Safety Act.
Article 4: Enforcement
The board of directors of this corporation shall be responsible for enforcing the provisions of this constitution.
Article 5: Amendments
This constitution may be amended by a majority vote of the shareholders of this corporation.
This is just a sample of a corporate constitution that could be used to support the legislation. The specific provisions of the constitution would need to be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the corporation.
Here are some additional provisions that could be included in the constitution:
· A requirement to use a diverse dataset to train AI systems.
· A requirement to use algorithms that are designed to be fair and unbiased.
· A requirement to have a process for auditing AI systems for bias.
· A requirement to have a process for reporting AI-related incidents.
These are just a few examples of the provisions that could be included in a corporate constitution that supports the legislation. The specific provisions would need to be tailored to the specific risks and challenges that are identified in each company.
civil policies for responsible AI use:
Transparency
· AI systems must be transparent in their operation and decision-making. This means that they must be able to explain their decisions in a way that is understandable to humans.
· AI systems must be subject to independent audits to ensure that they are operating in a transparent and accountable manner.
· The public must have access to information about the development and use of AI systems. This information should include the data that is used to train AI systems, the algorithms that are used to make decisions, and the results of independent audits.
Accountability
· AI systems must be held accountable for their actions. This means that they must be subject to the same laws and regulations as humans.
· If an AI system causes harm, the developers of the AI system must be held liable for the harm.
· There must be a process for individuals to seek redress if they are harmed by an AI system.
Non-discrimination
· AI systems must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. This means that they must not use race, gender, or other protected characteristics in their decision-making.
· AI systems must be tested for bias before they are deployed.
· There must be a process for individuals to report AI-related discrimination.
Privacy
· AI systems must respect the privacy of individuals. This means that they must only collect and use personal data that is necessary for their operation.
· Individuals must have the right to access and correct their personal data that is used by AI systems.
· AI systems must be secure and must protect personal data from unauthorized access.
These are just a few examples of civil policies that could be created to support the legislation. The specific policies would need to be tailored to the specific risks and challenges that are identified in each country or region.
