Mace Announces Hearing on White House AI Policy

WASHINGTON—Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Chairwoman Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) will hold a hearing titled “White House Policy on AI.” The hearing will examine the scope and impact of the roughly 150 requirements associated with President Biden’s recent Executive Order (EO 14110) on artificial intelligence (AI). The hearing will also explore corresponding draft guidance from the Office of Management and Budget regarding the federal government’s approach to acquiring and using AI systems.

“The Biden Administration’s executive order on artificial intelligence is expected to initiate far-reaching policy changes. It will influence the development and use of the technology in both the private and public sector.  The potential harm from careless or criminal use of AI is quite real and must be addressed through proper safeguards.  But it’s also imperative that we continue to foster this technology and ensure America maintains its edge over China in the development and use of AI systems. That means we must take a measured approach and avoid overregulation. And it means the federal government must use the power of AI to overhaul its own operations, albeit in a responsible manner,” said Chairwoman Mace.
