U.S. government’s policy to make AI correction mandatory
Self-regulation turned to malfunction one after another
The Donald Trump administration has made it mandatory for artificial intelligence (AI) companies to immediately report various accidents caused by individual company models to the government and correct the damage. According to the Internet media Axios on the 10th (local time), the White House Super Intelligence Force (SIF) said in a statement that reporting an AI accident is a “critical national security obligation.”
“AI companies must immediately disclose incidents related to their models and take swift and decisive action to correct any damage that has occurred,” the White House stressed. In the event of an accident, AI companies should cooperate to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents and fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
Until now, the Trump administration had adhered to the self-regulation policy for the AI industry, but it turned around demanding a mandatory response. This can be attributed to a series of recent malfunctions in AI models.
According to the U.S. Department of State, one of Antropic’s trial AI models submitted 19 non-immigrant visa applications through an open form on the State Department’s website in August. In Philadelphia, Antropic’s AI model has also been confirmed to have made false reports about unsolved murders. Antropic reported these cases to the government late last month after discovering them.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Jay Clayton, who oversees AI policies, and SIF officials are said to have called on Antropics to provide “immediate and complete transparency” to related agencies and the public.
The regulations announced on this day apply not only to Antropics but also to all AI companies. Delays in reporting, insufficient corrective action, and avoidance of responsibility will not be tolerated, the White House said. “Innovation cannot be an excuse to undermine national security, the credibility of the government system, and public trust.”
