System Integrity (see reasoning)

The text explicitly discusses the examination of artificial intelligence as used by public bodies, highlighting policies and procedures meant to ensure that AI systems do not result in unlawful discrimination or disparate impacts. This addresses the social impact of AI, as it considers the repercussions of their deployment in public services. The construction of a Commission on Artificial Intelligence indicates a focus on accountability and governance of AI systems, linking it to data governance, as regulations and assessments regarding AI usage are emphasized. While system integrity is touched upon, it does not deeply address issues such as security or transparency outside the governmental procurement processes. Similarly, robustness is not extensively covered, as the text does not deal with benchmarks or performance validation mechanisms but is largely focused on analysis and reporting. Hence, the Social Impact category is relevant due to concerns over discrimination and societal outcomes of AI use; Data Governance is relevant due to considerations around policies and assessments of AI systems used in public bodies; System Integrity is relevant, albeit to a lesser degree for oversight; and Robustness scores low as no benchmarks or standards are specifically referenced.

Collection: Legislation
Status date: March 6, 2024
Status: Introduced
Primary sponsor: Judiciary Committee (5 total sponsors)
Last action: File Number 515 (April 16, 2024)

Category:
Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)

The text primarily deals with the criminalization of unlawful dissemination of intimate images created or altered via AI. Therefore, it holds significant relevance to Social Impact, as it addresses the harmful consequences of AI on individuals regarding privacy and digital rights. Moreover, it brings in the aspect of accountability for the developers and users of AI technologies in creating content that could lead to psychological harm. Data Governance is relevant here since the law implicates stringent controls around the creation and distribution of intimate images, which directly pertains to data privacy considerations. System Integrity gains moderate relevance because the text mentions the technology of AI that includes algorithms and its governance, but does not deeply explore security or transparency issues specifically. Robustness, however, does not find much relevance as it focuses on the benchmarks and performance of AI systems, which is less applicable to the immediate focus of the text.


Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Judicial system (see reasoning)

The act has a broad impact across several sectors, but its primary concern aligns with government regulation of technology affecting citizens. It directly relates to Government Agencies and Public Services given the potential for enforcement by legal authorities. There may also be implications for the Judicial System due to the introduction of legal definitions and consequences for unlawful dissemination of AI-generated content. While it touches upon elements that could affect the Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment sector—such as AI's role in content creation—the bill doesn’t explicitly address workplace practices or corporate governance, leading to a less significant relevance here. The judicial implications concerning penal consequences of unlawful actions suggest ongoing relevance for sectors dealing with legal frameworks. Other sectors such as Healthcare, Academic Institutions, NGOs, and International Standards don't directly relate to the core issues discussed in the text.

Category:
Societal Impact
System Integrity (see reasoning)

The text emphasizes MITRE's role in developing artificial intelligence and cybersecurity frameworks, highlighting their innovative approaches and contributions to technology. MITRE's work in AI suggests a direct impact on social issues, including public safety and security, which connects to the 'Social Impact' category. The text also touches on cybersecurity protocols and frameworks, which are vital for maintaining data integrity, aligning with the 'System Integrity' category. However, the text lacks specific references to data governance or robustness in metrics and audits, limiting its relevance in those areas. Overall, 'Social Impact' and 'System Integrity' stand out due to the explicit mentions of AI and technology impact on society and cybersecurity, respectively.


Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Nonprofits and NGOs (see reasoning)

The text primarily highlights MITRE's advancements and contributions in technology relevant to national security and public good, which may relate somewhat to the 'Government Agencies and Public Services' sector because of MITRE's collaboration with governmental bodies on defense and security. The application of AI in cybersecurity measures also has implications for law enforcement and public service agencies. However, there are insufficient specific references to sectors like healthcare, judicial systems, or employment practices, making those sectors less relevant. The focus on technology's broader impact places this text more firmly within the 'Government Agencies and Public Services' sector than others.
