BIDEN’S NEW AI POLICY FALLS SHORT ON A KEY PROBLEM

The Biden administration’s new “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights” is
simultaneously a big step forward and a disappointment. Released last week, the
blueprint articulates a set of principles that could address some of the major
concerns about artificial intelligence design and deployment. But policymakers
will need to do more to achieve an elusive objective: trust in AI.

DATA IS DISRUPTIVE: HOW DATA SOVEREIGNTY IS CHALLENGING DATA GOVERNANCE

The vision of data control, or restricting cross-border data flows, as a means
of protecting personal data is disruptive and inaccurate. Whether held by the
public or private sector, societies benefit the most when large inventories of
data are used, shared, and crossed with other sets of data.

Details: Data-driven technologies such as XR and AI could, if effectively
designed and deployed,  enhance human rights because they expand individual
capabilities. XR uses computer-generated virtual environments to enhance an
individual’s capabilities and experiences, AI, in contrast, attempts to
replicate the way humans understand and process information and, combined with
the capabilities of a computer, process vast amounts of data without flaws. But
computers lack moral and ethical reasoning skills although some people assert
that computers can be trained with the “right” data. Yet many believe these
technologies undermine a wide range of human rights from access to information,
privacy, freedom of speech and association, and rights to non-discrimination, as
an example.


WHAT DO WE DO

The Digital Trade & Data Governance Hub provide resources, training, events, and
evidence-based research to help stakeholders understand data governance and
digital trade.

BIDEN’S NEW AI POLICY FALLS SHORT ON A KEY PROBLEM

by saaronso | October 12, 2022 | Publications | 0 Comments

At the behest of the U.S., representatives of 100 nations will gather online on
Thursday and Friday to examine how they can sustain democracy. The Summit for
Democracy has a packed agenda but ignores a major threat: Firms in the U.S. and
elsewhere use large troves of personal data to manipulate our behavior, which is
directly and indirectly endangering our autonomy, human rights, and democracy.
This threat to democracy was and continues to be made in America, and America’s
allies know it.

HOW SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT DATA?

We have little information about what data firms collect, how these firms use or
sell our data, or how they mix various data types. If we want these markets to
operate more equitably and efficiently, policymakers must focus on the
governance of data.
