Metaverse Law Presents at #RISK DIGITAL UK/EU

AI & Algorithms, United States , , , , , , , , ,

Metaverse Law’s Lily Li recently spoke at the #Risk Digital UK/EU global livestream last week
for two sessions: “A New Era of AI Governance” and “The Role of
Technology in Modern Governance, Risk and Compliance.”

Lily’s presentations included an overview about artificial
intelligence risks and discussed the latest developments in European
Union and United States AI legislation and regulations. Major
developments in the US include:
— NY and Illinois AI bias legislation in employment
— Colorado comprehensive AI legislation
— California AI bills that have recently passed the legislature.

Lily also touched on how the results of the U.S. presidential election
could impact the AI landscape, either through changes in FTC priority
and state legislation, and the need for AI risk management and
governance programs.

The law in this area is developing very quickly and will affect
businesses in almost every industry. Keeping up with these changes is
critical as businesses deploy and integrate AI into everyday operations.

Guidance on Artificial Intelligence and Data Protection

For many of us, Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) represents innovation, opportunities, and potential value to society.

For data protection professionals, however, AI also represents a range of risks involved in the use of technologies that shift processing of personal data to complex computer systems with often opaque processes and algorithms.

Data protection and information security authorities as well as governmental agencies around the world have been issuing guidelines and practical frameworks to offer guidance in developing AI technologies that will meet the leading data protection standards.

Below, we have compiled a list* of official guidance recently published by authorities around the globe.

Canada:

  • 1/17/2022 – Government of Ontario, “Beta principles for the ethical use of AI and data enhanced technologies in Ontario”
    https://www.ontario.ca/page/beta-principles-ethical-use-ai-and-data-enhanced-technologies-ontario
    The Government of Ontario released six beta principles for the ethical use of AI and data enhanced technologies in Ontario. In particular, the principles set out objectives to align the use of data enhanced technologies within the government processes, programs, and services with ethical considerations being prioritized.

China:

  • 12/12/2022 – Cyberspace Administration of China, Regulations on the Administration of Deep Synthesis of Internet Information Services
    http://www.cac.gov.cn/2022-12/11/c_1672221949354811.htm (in Chinese) and
    http://www.cac.gov.cn/2022-12/11/c_1672221949570926.htm (in Chinese)
    The Regulations target deep synthesis technology, which are synthetic algorithms that produce text, audio, video, virtual scenes, and other network information. The accompanying Regulations FAQs state that providers of deep synthesis technology must provide safe and controllable safeguards and conform with data protection obligations.
  • 9/26/2021 – Ministry of Science and Technology (“MOST”), New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Ethics Code
    http://www.most.gov.cn/kjbgz/202109/t20210926_177063.html (in Chinese)
    The Code aims to integrate ethics and morals into the full life cycle of AI systems, promote fairness, justice, harmony, and safety, and avoid problems such as prejudice, discrimination, privacy, and information leakage. The Code provides for specific ethical requirements in AI technology design, maintenance, and design.
  • 1/5/2021 – National Information Security Standardisation Technical Committee of China (“TC260”), Cybersecurity practice guide on AI ethical security risk prevention
    https://www.tc260.org.cn/upload/2021-01-05/1609818449720076535.pdf (in Chinese)
    The guide highlights ethical risks associated with AI, and provides basic requirements for AI ethical security risk prevention.

E.U.:

  • European Telecommunication Standards Institute (“ETSI”) Industry Specification Group Securing Artificial Intelligence (“ISG SAI”)
    https://www.etsi.org/committee/1640-sai
    The ISG SAI has published standards to preserve and improve the security of AI. The works focus on using AI to enhance security, mitigating against attacks that leverage AI, and securing AI itself from attack.
  • 4/21/2021 – European Commission, “Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council Laying Down Harmonised Rules on Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act) and Amending Certain Union Legislative Acts”
    https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=75788
    The EU Commission proposed a new AI Regulation – a set of flexible and proportionate rules that will address the specific risks posed by AI systems, intending to set the highest global standard. As an EU regulation, the rules would apply directly across all European Member States. The regulation proposal follows a risk-based approach and calls for the creation of a European enforcement agency.
