Consumers and firms have enthusiastically embraced the digital world. However, data breaches, intrusive web tracking, and the opaque nature of data usage across platforms have caused anxiety and uncertainty for consumers and policymakers. How we govern the collection and use of data could affect public trust of commercial and public institutions and influence the rate of innovation across the economy. What policies will encourage digital privacy, data security, and innovation and ensure US leadership on privacy moving forward?

FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson and Department of Justice Acting Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer Peter Winn will visit AEI to discuss their ideas about US leadership on privacy in the digital age with AEI’s Shane Tews and Roslyn Layton. An expert panel discussion will follow. What policies will encourage digital privacy, data security, and innovation and ensure US leadership on privacy moving forward

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.
