EPIC - June 5 Panel, AI and Human Rights: The Future of AI Policy in the US from EPIC.org on Vimeo.

The rise of AI has already begun to challenge fundamental rights of fairness, accountability, and transparency. AI by the public and private sector can mean real life consequences for people in employment, housing, credit, commerce, and criminal sentencing. At the same time, AI promises economic and social prosperity across many fields. The U.S. is building an AI policy through Executive Order, legislative proposals, and engagement on the international stage. This event will explore the future AI policy in the U.S. How should the U.S. address human rights challenges of AI domestically and abroad? What should the U.S. role in AI be on the international stage? Around what principles for AI has U.S. policymaking begun to converge?
