WPF joining Office of US Deputy Attorney General Roundtable Discussion on AI risks to privacy and consumer rights as participant

The Office of the Deputy Attorney General has invited WPF Executive Director Pam Dixon to join a roundtable discussion on AI’s potential to magnify and accelerate risks to privacy and consumer rights, and opportunities for AI to advance the Department of Justice’s mission to protect the rights of consumers. This roundtable is part of the “Justice AI” initiative launched by the Deputy AG in February 2024 to bring together varied perspectives to better understand and prepare for how AI will affect the Department’s mission, including its mission to protect civil rights.

Justice AI roundtable conversations are closed to the press and conducted under Chatham House Rules.

New Report: Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new WPF report, “Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools.” This report sets out a definition of AI governance tools, documents why and how these tools are critically important for trustworthy AI, and where these tools are around the world. The report also documents problems in some AI governance tools themselves, and suggests pathways to improve AI governance tools and create an evaluative environment to measure their effectiveness. AI systems should not be deployed without simultaneously evaluating the potential adverse impacts of such systems and mitigating their risks, and most of the world agrees about the need to take precautions against the threats posed. The specific tools and techniques that exist to evaluate and measure AI systems for their inclusiveness, fairness, explainability, privacy, safety and other trustworthiness issues — called in the report collectively AI governance tools – can improve such issues. While some AI governance tools provide reassurance to the public and to regulators, the tools too often lack meaningful oversight and quality assessments. Incomplete or ineffective AI governance tools can create a false sense of confidence, cause unintended problems, and generally undermine the promise of AI systems. The report contains rich background details, use cases, potential solutions to the problems discussed in the report, and a global index of AI Governance Tools.
