Daniel E. Ho's Testimony Before the California Senate Governmental Organization Committee and the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee No. 4 on State Administration and General Government
Daniel E. Ho discusses 6 actions towards optimal government AI protections.
Introduction
There are three possible futures of AI. One is a future of AI abuse unchecked by government regulation. Nefarious actors use AI voice cloning to scam citizens, bot-generated text impersonates people, and deep fakes erode trust. Another is where the government harms citizens because of improper vetting of AI. But a third future is one where the government protects Americans from bad actors and leverages AI to make lives better—like the VA’s use of AI to enable physicians to spend more time caring for veteran patients, and less time taking notes. To get there, we must make the right decisions today.
