PCAST Working Group on Generative AI Invites Public Input
As part of my duties on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), I am co-chairing (with Laura Greene) a working group studying the impacts of generative artificial intelligence technology (which includes popular text-based large language models such as ChatGPT or diffusion model image generators such as DALL-E 2 or Midjourney, as well as models for scientific applications such as protein design or weather prediction), both in science and in society more broadly. To this end, we will have public sessions on these topics during our PCAST meeting next week on Friday, May 19, with presentations by the following speakers, followed by an extensive Q&A session:
AI enabling science:
Anima Anandkumar (Caltech & NVIDIA)
Demis Hassabis (Deepmind)
Fei-Fei Li (Stanford)
AI and society:
Sendhil Mullainathan (Chicago)
Daron Acemoglu (MIT)
Sarah Kreps (Cornell)
The event will be livestreamed on the PCAST meeting page. I am personally very much looking forward to these sessions, as I believe they will be of broad public interest.
In parallel to this, our working group is also soliciting public input for submissions from the public on how to identify and promote the beneficial deployment of generative AI, and on how best to mitigate risks. Our initial focus is on the challenging topic of how to detect, counteract, and mitigate AI-generated disinformation and “deepfakes”, without sacrificing the freedom of speech and public engagement with elected officials that is needed for a healthy democracy to function; in the future we may also issue further requests centered around other aspects of generative AI. Further details of our request, and how to prepare a submission, can be found at this link.
We also encourage submissions to some additional requests for input on AI-related topics by other agencies:
The Office of Science Technology and Policy (OSTP) Request for Information on how automated tools are being used to surveil, monitor, and manage workers.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) request for comment on AI accountability policy.
