Topics missing from the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and should be added

Based on the articles you mentioned, I think the following topics are missing from the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and should be added:

  • The need to ensure that AI is used in a way that benefits all of humanity, not just the wealthy and powerful.

  • The need to protect people's right to control their own data and to have their privacy respected.

  • The need to ensure that AI is used in a way that is sustainable and does not harm the environment.

  • The need to develop international standards for the development and use of AI.

  • The need to educate the public about the potential risks and benefits of AI.

I hope this helps!

  • Safe and Effective Systems: You should be protected from unsafe or ineffective systems.

  • Algorithmic Discrimination Protections: You should not face discrimination by algorithms and systems should be used and designed in an equitable way.

  • Data Privacy: You should be protected from abusive data practices via built-in protections and you should have agency over how data about you is used.

  • Notice and Explanation: You should know when an automated system is being used and understand how and why it contributes to outcomes that impact you.

  • Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback: You should be able to opt out, where appropriate, and have access to a person who can quickly consider and remedy problems you encounter.

  • The Bias challenge: AI can introduce or perpetuate biases that society finds unacceptable.

  • The Privacy challenge : AI can allow individuals to be identified and personal information about them to be used in ways beyond what the public wants.

  • The Misrepresentation challenge : AI can allow the generation of material that deliberately misrepresents someone’s behaviour, opinions or character.

  • The Access to Data challenge: The most powerful AI needs very large datasets, which are held by few organisations.

  • The Access to Compute challenge: The development of powerful AI requires significant compute power, access to which is limited to a few organisations.

  • The Black Box challenge: Some AI models and tools cannot explain why they produce a particular result, which is a challenge to transparency requirements.

  • The Open-Source challenge: Requiring code to be openly available may promote transparency and innovation; allowing it to be proprietary may concentrate market power but allow more dependable regulation of harms.

  • The Intellectual Property and Copyright Challenge: Some AI models and tools make use of other people’s content: policy must establish the rights of the originators of this content, and these rights must be enforced.

  • The Liability challenge: If AI models and tools are used by third parties to do harm, policy must establish whether developers or providers of the technology bear any liability for harms done.

  • The Employment challenge: AI will disrupt the jobs that people do and that are available to be done.

  • The Democracy challenge: AI can affect how people form opinions, access information, and participate in democratic processes.

  • The International Relations challenge: AI can affect how countries cooperate or compete with each other on various issues.

In his post titled "ChatGPT-4: The UK MPs focus on the Governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI)"3, he uses ChatGPT-4 to comment on the interim report by the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee. ChatGPT-4 praises the report for its comprehensive analysis of the challenges of AI governance and suggests some additional points that could be considered. For example:

  • ChatGPT-4 recommends that the committee should also address the ethical implications of using AI for military purposes, such as autonomous weapons or cyber warfare.

  • ChatGPT-4 advises that the committee should consider how to foster public engagement and education on AI issues, such as through citizen assemblies or online platforms.

  • ChatGPT-4 proposes that the committee should explore how to collaborate with other countries and international organizations on developing common standards and norms for AI governance.

In his post titled “The research on LLMs, especially concerning their potential to leak copyrighted content and other trustworthiness issues” 3, he uses ChatGPT-4 to discuss the recent research on LLMs and their implications for content and rights owners. ChatGPT-4 highlights some of the findings and challenges of LLMs, such as:

  • LLMs can generate high-quality texts that are indistinguishable from human-written texts, but they can also produce inaccurate, misleading, or harmful content that can affect public opinion, reputation, or safety.

  • LLMs can leak sensitive or personal information that is embedded in their training data, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or medical records, which can pose privacy and security risks.

  • LLMs can reproduce or remix copyrighted content that is part of their training data, such as books, songs, or movies, which can infringe on the intellectual property rights of the original creators.

ChatGPT-4 also suggests some ways that content and rights owners can leverage this knowledge in litigation to protect their intellectual property and ensure that emerging technologies are used in a responsible and ethical manner. For example:

  • Content and rights owners can use tools such as plagiarism detectors or watermarking techniques to identify and trace the source of unauthorized or infringing content generated by LLMs.

  • Content and rights owners can seek legal remedies such as injunctions, damages, or takedowns against the developers or providers of LLMs that violate their rights or cause harm to their interests.

  • Content and rights owners can advocate for stronger regulations and standards for LLMs that require transparency, accountability, and fairness in their design, development, and deployment.

In his post titled “AI Ranking: Its Top Challenges And Opportunities” 3, he uses ChatGPT-4 to rank the top challenges and opportunities of AI according to different criteria, such as impact, urgency, feasibility, or desirability. ChatGPT-4 uses a scoring system to assign numerical values to each challenge or opportunity based on the chosen criterion. For example:

  • According to the impact criterion, which measures how much a challenge or opportunity affects society, the environment, or the economy, ChatGPT-4 ranks the top three challenges as: 1) AI and democracy; 2) AI and employment; 3) AI and bias. The top three opportunities are: 1) AI and health; 2) AI and education; 3) AI and sustainability.

  • According to the urgency criterion, which measures how soon a challenge or opportunity needs to be addressed or pursued, ChatGPT-4 ranks the top three challenges as: 1) AI and privacy; 2) AI and misrepresentation; 3) AI and liability. The top three opportunities are: 1) AI and disaster response; 2) AI and social justice; 3) AI and innovation.

Based on these sources, some possible topics that are missing from the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and could be added are:

  • AI and democracy: The Blueprint does not explicitly address how AI can affect how people form opinions, access information, and participate in democratic processes. This topic could be included under the principle of Notice and Explanation or under a new principle of Democratic Participation.

  • AI and employment: The Blueprint does not explicitly address how AI will disrupt the jobs that people do and that are available to be done. This topic could be included under the principle of Data Privacy or under a new principle of Economic Opportunity.

  • AI and ethics: The Blueprint does not explicitly address how AI should adhere to ethical values and principles that reflect the common good of humanity. This topic could be included under the principle of Safe and Effective Systems or under a new principle of Ethical Design.

Claude’s answer:Based on a comparison of the provided sources, here are some key topics that appear to be missing from the AI Bill of Rights that could be considered for addition:

  • Oversight and accountability of AI systems, including auditing and transparency requirements. The UK parliamentary report stresses the need for governance frameworks and accountability.

  • Fairness, non-discrimination and inclusion considerations in AI design and use. The Substack articles highlight concerns about bias and potential harms of large language models.

  • Measures to ensure data privacy and prevent unauthorized surveillance. The UK report raises data privacy as a key challenge.

  • Responsible AI design principles like safety, security, interpretability. The Substack overview of AI challenges includes safety as a top priority.

  • Consideration of social impacts like workforce displacement. The Substack ranking mentions employment impacts as a concern.
