The popular use of ChatGPT and other AI, which have been used
for years to create text, imagery and other content, has sparked
a rush around the globe to figure out if and how it should be
regulated.
In Washington, national security experts have fretted about its
use by foreign adversaries, and teachers have complained about
it being used to cheat.
The job of the AI Task Force, which could include cabinet
members, will be to identify shortfalls in regulatory oversight
of AI and recommend reforms, if needed.
"There's going to have to be a lot of education around this set
of issues because they're not well understood," said Bennet, a
Democrat from Colorado. "There's going to be a lot of
improvisation and iterative approaches to try to wrestle with
this because AI is so new to everyone in the government."
Under the bill, the task force would include an official from
the Office of Management and Budget, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology and the Office of Science and
Technology Policy as well as privacy and civil liberties
officers from the Departments of Justice, State, Treasury,
Defense and other executive branch agencies.
Under the terms of the bill, the task force would work for 18
months, issue a final report and then shut down.
