Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

The same way they do it with crypto bullshit I’d imagine. Prosecute people for export.

Edit: my bad. Daddy government can only do good. That’s why we support Israel.

I’m glad it got shut down, but it doesn’t mean it didn’t have a chilling effect for years.

If you’ve got a better reason you look like you use boot polish for lipstick I’m all ears.

The government using export restrictions (and any other law they can try to make apply) to enrich corporations isn’t fucking new.

Is there something confusing in that sentence? The US has already banned the export of cards above a certain speed to China. It would be simple to extend that control.
