About<\/h2>\n

The AI Policy Committee brings together IEEE members with experience and expertise in the disciplines needed to create, develop, and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) systems. These members address the public policy (both legislative and regulatory) needs of the S&T community working with this important emerging technology. The committee meets as needed to discuss issues related to AI governance and publishes position statements that reflect a consensus viewpoint of IEEE\u2019s U.S.-based membership. IEEE-USA government relations staff use the statements to guide advocacy efforts within the United States. Specific uses include, but are not limited to, legislative advocacy, federal agency rulemaking, notice-and-comment letters, and lobbying efforts with Congress and the Administration.<\/p>\n

Rationale<\/h2>\n

While AI can be an effective and efficient enabler for national security and social good, and has significant potential for a wide range of commercial applications, society must acknowledge and address a number of salient issues. Increasingly, AI applications significantly impact every aspect of American society, with implications for the economy, public safety, privacy, and governmental applications.<\/p>\n

For these reasons, the US government must create coordinated federal policy, which includes supporting AI R&D adequately while enacting effective laws and regulations that promote safety, privacy, cybersecurity, and intellectual property protection. Federal public policies must also ensure transparency and provide the information necessary to allow the public to make informed decisions when using AI. Insufficient attention to any of these areas could result in high-profile controversies, critical technological failures, or even loss of life. Well-considered public policies are essential to achieve the full potential of AI to create value for our society and retain U.S. leadership in AI innovation.<\/p>\n
