NTIA Calls for Independent Audits of AI Systems in New Accountability Report

Hodan Omaar, senior policy analyst at the Center for Data Innovation, said in a statement that the focus on regulatory frameworks throughout the report “will not help the United States become a leading global adopter of AI.”

“The United States should pursue policies that encourage U.S. businesses to hire more AI developers, integrators and engineers, not divert those resources to hiring more auditors and lawyers,” Omaar added. “Policymakers should instead rely on voluntary frameworks because they are more adaptable, dynamic, and effective at addressing risks in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.”
