AI Risk And The White House

The Biden Administration Is Trying to Establish Some Limits

Healthcare providers and payers have joined 15 other prominent AI businesses in pledging to properly build AI models. These organizations include OpenAI, Google, and OpenAI partner Microsoft.

According to a White House official, twenty-eight healthcare businesses, including CVS Health, have agreed to accept a set of voluntary obligations that U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed to keep AI development safe.

Companies who join the pledges promise to responsibly employ AI in their product development processes. This includes creating solutions that help patients in many ways, such as reducing clinician fatigue, increasing access to care, improving outcomes through care coordination, and advancing health justice.

Addressing Bias

The Executive Order (EO) mandates that government agencies work toward eliminating discrimination and algorithmic bias in AI systems. It asks for the creation of guidelines and best practices to reduce algorithmic bias, checks that AI systems adhere to civil rights laws, evaluates them to find unfair effects on protected groups, and gives humans a chance to review AI’s bad decisions. It goes on to say that the DOJ should work together on civil rights enforcement cases including AI bias.

Notably, the EO urges the heads of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to evaluate the possibility of using their powers to employ suitable methodology, including artificial intelligence technologies, to guarantee adherence to federal laws. This involves checking their automated collateral evaluation and valuation systems for prejudice and inequalities that can impact protected classes, as well as their underwriting models.

Safety Testing

The findings of safety testing must be shared with the government before any artificial intelligence system that might endanger U.S. national security, the economy, public health, or safety can be released to the public, according to an executive order issued by Biden on October 30, 2023. Oscar, Curai, Devoted Health, Duke Health, Emory Healthcare, and WellSpan Health are among the providers who have signed the agreements, according to the White House official.
