Precision Regulation for Artificial Intelligence - IBM Policy Lab

Principles are admirable and can help communicate a company’s commitments to citizens and consumers. But it’s past time to move from principles to policy. Requiring disclosure — as appropriate based on use-case and end-user — should be the default expectation for many companies creating, distributing, or commercializing AI systems. In an earlier Policy Lab essay, we articulated a disclosure requirement for law enforcement use-cases of facial recognition technology. Something similar should be required of AI more generally in order to provide the public with appropriate assurances that they are being treated fairly and equitably by AI-based determinations in sensitive use-cases.
