Brad Smith, vice chairman and president of Microsoft, said there are five actions governments should take when addressing new and existing problems related to artificial intelligence through law, public policy and regulation. The first is the introduction and construction of a new government-led AI safety framework, he said. .
As an example, he cited the AI Risk Management Framework launched by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Another step the government should take is to require effective safety brakes on AI platforms that control critical infrastructure, Smith said in a blog post published Thursday.
“With this approach, governments would define a class of high-risk AI systems that control critical infrastructure and ensure such safeguards as part of a comprehensive approach to systems management,” he said. said.
Smith added that governments should direct operators to assess high-risk platforms to ensure the effectiveness of security measures.
He cited the need to develop a regulatory and legal framework based on AI’s technology architecture, with the blueprint containing information on some of the key components for the development and use of generative AI models. said.
“Using this as context, various laws have proposed imposing specific regulatory responsibilities on organizations that perform specific responsibilities at the three layers of the technology stack: the application layer, the model layer, and the infrastructure layer. We are,” Smith wrote.
Two other considerations discussed by Smith are promoting transparency and ensuring access to AI resources for academic institutions and nonprofits, and using AI as a tool to address societal challenges associated with the introduction of new technologies. The pursuit of public-private partnerships for use.
