Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)

The Digital Voice and Likeness Protection Act discusses the use of digital replicas, which involves generative artificial intelligence systems and closely ties to themes of consent, representation, and professional rights in the context of AI-generated content. This touches upon the Social Impact category significantly as it deals with the effects of AI on individuals' rights and how they are protected from potential exploitation. The legislation also addresses governance aspects of how AI, specifically generative systems, should be managed and overseen in contract scenarios. Given that these agreements can affect data management and include concerns over consent and protective measures, there is grounding in Data Governance as well. However, it does not pertain to System Integrity or Robustness, as those focus more on security, transparency, and performance compliance metrics, which are not highlighted in this act.


Sector:
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment
Academic and Research Institutions (see reasoning)

This legislation predominantly deals with individual rights in professional services concerning AI-generated digital replicas of voice and likeness, which intersects with multiple sectors. The most notable sector impacted is Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment, due to implications in contractual agreements between individuals and businesses. There are also implications for Academic and Research Institutions, especially relating to studies on AI's impact in various fields, as it sets a precedent regarding the ethical use of AI in representing individuals. However, the focus on labor and rights in a business context makes this legislation primarily relevant to the Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment category. Other sectors such as Politics and Elections, Judicial System, Healthcare, Government Agencies and Public Services, International Cooperation and Standards, Nonprofits and NGOs, and Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified are less directly applicable.

Category:
Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)

The legislation explicitly addresses the use of Artificial Intelligence in political advertisements, requiring disclosures for AI-generated content to ensure transparency to viewers. It also includes provisions against misleading practices associated with AI-generated media, indicating a direct concern for potential impacts on society and individual rights. Therefore, it is highly relevant to the Social Impact category. The legislation entails guidelines about data governance concerning the honesty and accuracy of political advertisements, thus relevant to Data Governance as well. However, it does not necessarily delve deeply into system integrity or robustness aspects since it focuses more on disclosure and accountability rather than the operational integrity or performance benchmarks of AI systems. Consequently, these last two categories score lower in relevance.


Sector:
Politics and Elections
Government Agencies and Public Services (see reasoning)

The text directly pertains to political campaigns, delineating the use of AI in political advertisements and establishing guidelines for transparency and accountability within the electoral process. Thus, it scores the highest in relevance in the Politics and Elections sector. Given the implications of AI in enhancing the integrity of the information disseminated in political contexts, it has moderate relevance in the Government Agencies and Public Services sector as it could relate to public service functions. The other sectors do not have a substantial connection to this specific legislation; therefore, they receive low scores as they are not directly addressed.

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

The text explicitly addresses the use of automated decision-making systems and artificial intelligence by state agencies. It emphasizes the necessity for human oversight, rigorous impact assessments, accountability, and the protection of rights related to automated decisions. Given its focus on societal implications (bias, civil liberties, public assistance), it strongly aligns with the Social Impact category. Additionally, the emphasis on defining data handling, conducting assessments, and addressing cybersecurity risks suggests a significant relationship to Data Governance. System Integrity is relevant due to the laws surrounding human oversight and control of AI systems, while Robustness addresses compliance with benchmarks and standards in the assessment of such systems, confirming its validity. Each of these categories plays a crucial role in ensuring the responsible use of AI and automated systems in government.


Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)

The text predominantly concerns the regulation of AI and automated decision-making in the context of government agencies. It sets out strict requirements for state agencies regarding how they employ AI in public services, making Government Agencies and Public Services the most relevant sector. Although the legislation could intersect with several other sectors, such as Public Enterprises regarding employment due to its implications on labor, the strong focus on state government decision-making places it primarily in this sector. There is less direct relevance to other sectors like Healthcare or Education, limiting their scores.

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

The text explicitly discusses the regulation of artificial intelligence in the hiring process, particularly focusing on ensuring that employers inform applicants about AI usage and obtain consent. This directly relates to issues around social impact, namely discrimination through AI evaluations and consumer protection—ensuring fairness and accountability in AI hiring processes. Moreover, the requirement for employers to collect and report demographic data reinforces the relevance of social impact because it aims to identify any potential bias in AI systems. Thus, it is highly relevant to the social impact category. For data governance, the text outlines mandates for consent, the use of applicant data, and issues of data retention, which are relevant as they address the ethical collection and management of data processed by AI systems, hence a strong relevance score. The system integrity category is relevant as it mentions consent procedures and the obligation to delete data, indicating an emphasis on transparency and control over AI decisions. Robustness is less relevant as the text does not focus on performance benchmarks or auditing AI but rather on procedural and ethical considerations. Overall, the emphasis on the responsible use and implications of AI in hiring supports higher scores for social impact and data governance, with moderate relevance in system integrity.


Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)

The text is explicitly related to the hiring process, which falls within labor and employment legislation due to its direct application to how artificial intelligence may be employed by employers when assessing job applicants. Furthermore, it addresses consumer protections and civil rights within hiring practices, making it relevant to private enterprises. There is also an element of public service as it mandates reporting to the Department of Labor, reinforcing the broader implications for government oversight and regulation in employment practices related to AI. Thus, the text is highly relevant to the Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment sector. It holds moderate relevance to Government Agencies and Public Services since it mentions cooperation with a state department but is not primarily focused on the use of AI by government agencies. Other sectors do not apply due to the specific context regarding employment and hiring.
