Two members of the Congress of North Carolina met more than a dozen leaders and researchers in Artificial Intelligence in Durham on Tuesday, where they discussed high-level policy and technical minimum-and left with a promise that their efforts to understand the law and draft the law are meaningful.
US Reps. Debora Ross (D-Veeke) and Valerie Fooge (D-Orange), who work in a bipartisan committee with the aim of addressing AI issues, hosted a meeting at Nekan Central University, along with Durham Mayor Lyonardo Williams and NCCU Chancellor Johnson Akinale.
The attendees included top officials and lawyers for some of the largest technical companies in the triangle – Cisco, IBM and SAS – as well as local entrepreneurs in the AI scene, federal government experts, university researchers and others.
Talking with business experts, like those people like regulators and academic worlds, is to decide on Tuesday as to what should be proposed in that law or not.
One subject of discussion was how to use AI, how to wear tech companies, as well as individuals. Ross compared it to atomic power compared to this, with great positive use as well as destructive applications.
He suggested that new computer scientists “using those skills for good, not the dark side.” But more emphasis should be given on training.
“I only saw ‘Openheimer’,” he said. “And I was thinking that AI was the whole time.”
Professor, a computer science professor at Duke University, said that the federal government needs to be more clear with rules aimed at morality in AI. For big companies, he said, acting morally often goes against his lower line.
“These companies, they only fired their ‘moral AI’ groups,” said Rudin. “This is not especially in their financial interest to be moral, so they are not going. So you need to regulate it. ,
He mentioned concerns with facial recognition – something like this made some compromise with a top IBM executive. Tim Humphre, who leads the Northern Carolina Operations of IBM and also served as the vice president of the company’s main data office, was blunt in his assessment of the development of facial recognition technology, which has shown that black people have often been misunderstood.
“When I think of something misunderstanding – we all know about the identity of the face,” he said. “As a black person I say – I guarantee – there was no black test in the room that was doing any test. And probably because we are not developing the pipelines of less minorities in these jobs. … We have to do better to make it attractive at an early age.”
Aarti Prabhakar was the top advisor to Democratic President Joe Biden on Science and Technology Policy by helping in the medium Monday meeting. And there were indications that the movement could not be done only at the federal level.
Durham State rape. Zack Hawkins also spoke at the meeting, said that he plans to introduce a bill in the State Legislature, which is to create a local version of the bipartisan AI committee, which Ross and Fouses have worked in the Congress.
Ross said in an interview after the meeting that many works which need to be at the federal level, as AI issues are not limited to state lines.
But there are some important tasks that other states have already started, he said, and hopes that the Northern Carolina follows the suit.
Ross said, “The states are working to protect them from deep fakes, dealing with election protection, dealing with things like Taylor Swift’s image, pornography,” Ross said. “And in those regions, states have a really role.”
