A U.S. advocate for civil rights affected by technology has created a new unit that will work on AI-related risks.
Executives with the Center for Democracy & Technology have formed the AI Governance Lab. Lab staff will work on ways to ameliorate risks and harms implicit in AI algorithms and how they are used. Among the areas expected to be researched and packaged for national lawmakers will be AI auditing, bias mitigation and safety protocols. Funders of the lab include the Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations and Siegel Family Endowment.
