Congress Is Falling Behind on AI

Daniel Castro, director of the think tank Center for Data Innovation and vice president at the industry-funded Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, said that he thinks too much attention is being paid to the negative aspects of AI. He argues that Congress should take amore hands off approach to the sector, in line with the United Kingdom and India, which have said they will not regulate AI.

“The reasons to be hands off because we don't know exactly what it is we're dealing with yet,” said Castro. “We don't know where the challenges are. We don't know what will be handled by self regulation, by the market, or just norms that will exist about what's acceptable behavior in society.”
