OpenAI: The power to formulate AI policy still belongs to the United States OpenAI A senior executive in charge of global affairs said that the foundation of U.S. artificial intelligence policy still falls at the state level, and the landmark bill introduced by California last year continues to provide reference for national AI regulatory policies. Ann O'Leary, vice president of global policy at OpenAI, said: Thousands of bills are currently being reviewed in statehouses across the United States. "The overall framework of U.S. artificial intelligence policy is actually gradually taking shape in state capitals, and the implementation form is divided into executive orders and state legislative legislation." She said that the formulation of most AI policies in the United States refers to the "California Artificial Intelligence Transparency Act" signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom last year. She said that a new round of policy discussions around the potentially catastrophic risks of artificial intelligence, children's online safety, and data center construction have already begun, adding: "I think California has room to continue to lead in these areas." This exchange took place during the "California Agenda: Sacramento Summit" panel organized by Media Magazine. Also participating in the discussion were California State Senator Steve Padilla and Bruce Reed, head of artificial intelligence for Common Sense Media, a children's online safety charity, who previously served on the Biden administration's White House team. Reed said: “California has always been at the forefront of technology regulation for more than ten years.” He pointed out that the federal level of Washington has not introduced a major technology bill in decades, and has long been unable to keep up with the development pace of the rapidly iterative technology industry. "A technology is updated and iterated every thirty days, and it is impossible to rely on laws that are only revised once in thirty years to restrict management and control." Reed said that for this reason, state governments such as California must take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility for regulatory advancement. Padilla has previously promoted the implementation of legislation related to chatbot security protection, and is continuing to promote related issues this year. He believes that the impact of change brought by artificial intelligence has surpassed previous major technological changes in history such as the Industrial Revolution. "It is precisely because of the recognition of this reality, coupled with the fact that the federal government has been unable to introduce unified and coordinated control measures due to problems with various systems that are not functioning smoothly, that state legislators are increasingly feeling the urgency." Padilla said frankly, "California is undoubtedly deeply aware of this sense of urgency. At the same time, we are also determined to proactively introduce regulatory measures." via cnBeta.COM - Chinese Industry Information Station (author: Source: Global Market Report)
