Regulators Have Tools to Evaluate AI Systems, But Tailored Oversight Is Needed
-
Governments are implementing policies to regulate AI systems and discover harms, but regulators should also evaluate systems under existing laws.
-
The regulatory toolbox includes transparency requirements, audits, sandboxes, industry engagement, and whistleblowers.
-
Transparency can inform the public but requires tailored rules. Audits directly evaluate systems but need expertise.
-
Sandboxes facilitate communication but demand capacity. The AI assurance industry aids monitoring.
-
Complaints from individuals and whistleblowers provide unique insights into algorithmic systems.
