The U.S. Chamber of Commerce published a report calling for domestic regulation of artificial intelligence technology. According to Reuters, the report urges policymakers and business leaders to establish a regulatory framework to ensure that technology is used responsibly to reduce national security risks and does not impede the growth of the industry. It was a rare stance for the chamber of commerce, known for its anti-regulatory stance.
The report comes as the U.S. and other countries are increasingly interested in artificial intelligence technologies including ChatGPT, which is considered an emerging program capable of quickly answering various inquiries, but its implications for national security and education The fallout has worried members of the U.S. Congress.
The report pointed out that by 2030, artificial intelligence is expected to add $13 trillion to global economic growth, and has made important contributions in monitoring wildfires and speeding up the response of emergency management officials. However, the report highlights the need to prepare for the technology’s growing popularity and its potential risks.
In its report, the Chamber affirmed that “every company and government agency will be using artificial intelligence within 20 years.” The report was part of the Chamber’s Artificial Intelligence Commission formed last year, which acknowledged that companies will be critical in the use and management of the technology. play a key role.
While calling for greater regulation, the chamber said it needed to avoid creating a regulatory framework that would apply to everyone in the same way, and stressed the need for a flexible approach, with rules and recommended practices developed for each industry as needed.
The still lack of global regulation in the field of artificial intelligence has raised concerns for many as it is being used for purposes such as cheating or writing fake news, and it has reportedly been used by hackers to help them write malware.
In this regard, the European Union launched an artificial intelligence regulatory project called The AI Act in 2021. As the world’s first such project to formulate laws on artificial intelligence technology, it aims to reach a law that may prevent companies from using artificial intelligence. .
