🗽In NYC, AI hiring tools face a new test - Prove they're not sexist or racist! The world's first legislation of its kind, demanding third-party audits of #AI to ensure unbiased employment. A step toward fairness, or just scratching the surface? 🔍 #AIGovernance#FairHiring
🔔A deep dive into OpenAI's covert moves to dilute #EU#AI Act reveals contradictions between their public stance and private actions. Is Big Tech exploiting 'utility & public benefit' of AI to guard financial interests? We demand transparency - @FTC, it's time to #OpenTheAI!🔍
🚨 SCOOP: OpenAI lobbied the E.U. to weaken forthcoming AI regulation, even as in public it calls for stronger AI guardrails, documents obtained by TIME show.
We're publishing the key document in full alongside my story 👇

#AIDVparis2021caidp.org/events/aidvparis20…
👏 Great to see such a milestone for AI policy in the Senate. To make these conversations more insightful, we recommend @SenSchumer and all senators review our AIDV Index. It assesses AI policies & practices across 75 nations in alignment with democratic values. #AIGovernance
📣 Breaking News! We @theCAIDP just penned an open letter to @SenSchumer concerning the transparency of #AI policy briefings in the US Senate. We believe #TransparencyIsKey🔑 in a democracy. Let's ensure our voices are heard! 📢 Read our letter: tinyurl.com/2uk4hym9
-What does AI mean for #HumanRights?
-What are the international legislative & regulatory developments?
-What is the impact of AI standards & benchmarking on industry, government, and society? Excited to be hosting great discussions by a fantastic cohort of speakers!#AIAthens2021
4/6 🕵️♀️ Transparency is key. Limit or prohibit AI techniques that impede our rights. AI-based decisions that impact human rights must be contestable to ensure procedural fairness.
🔵 Diving deep into #AI accountability? We've got you covered. Check out CAIDP's robust stance on NTIA's call for comment and join the conversation. Let's drive ethical AI forward together. 👉 caidp.org/public-voice/ntia-…#AIEthics#AccountableAI
6/6 We won't rest until there is firm regulatory control over AI products. This investigation is a step in the right direction, but there is still work to do. 🚀📚 Join us in our mission to ensure safety and fairness in the digital realm! 💻🌍 #MissionAI#DigitalJustice
6/6 📣 Leadership in AI will be measured not just in market share or patents but in our commitment to human rights. Let's lead the way in making AI work for humanity, not against it. #CAIDPStatement
5/6 🌐 It's time the US supports an international AI Treaty to protect human rights in both public and private sector AI systems. Our human rights need to be a priority in the AI era.
📣 @SenSchumer, let's turn AI policy-making into a transparent, inclusive process. No more closed-door briefings - let's give voice to all, especially those most impacted by AI decisions. For democracy to thrive, #AIForAll must be our mantra. Statement:

3/6 ⚖️ We call for mandated human rights impact assessments for high-risk AI systems. Identify and mitigate risks before deployment. Waiting until harms emerge is too late.
2/6 🛑 Clear prohibitions on AI techniques that infringe human rights: mass surveillance, social scoring, etc. must be barred. Remember Bachelet's call for safeguards against human rights violations by AI.
In light of these grave concerns, #CAIDP believes it's high time to address the unregulated advances of #AI technologies. CAIDP’s chronology of actions leading up to our #FTC complaint against #OpenAI & #GPT4 emphasizes the urgency of this situation.
caidp.org/cases/openai/
🔵 @SenatorDurbin is spot on. Accountability in #AI is non-negotiable. We must avoid repeating past mistakes. Accountability for AI systems will protect users and ensure safe development. We're #OnboardWithDurbin. Let's build an #AccountableAI future together. 🤝
To ensure AI develops in a safe & ethical way, we must learn from our past mistakes & make sure those who develop, deploy & use AI systems are held legally accountable for any harm they cause.
I applaud Admin's attention to this subject & look forward to working with them.
As we continue pushing for urgent FTC action, we want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on #AIRegulation? What do you think the future of AI should look like? Join the conversation. #CAIDPvsOpenAIcaidp.org/cases/openai/
how did i miss the @EU_Commission spent money publishing a 'child-friendly version' of the Declaration of 🇪🇺 Digital Rights and Principles where #AI is floating above everyone & there's no mention of constant spying in the name of the fight against #CSA
2/6 This isn't just a win for us, it's a win for YOU! Every person deserves to know their information is safe and that AI products won't harm or mislead them. #FTCStepsUp#PeopleBeforeAI
Our new filing sheds light on the international response, unearths new concerns, and echoes FTC Commissioners' commitment to consumer safety. The time for action is now.

With public support, expert opinions, bipartisan AI legislation and President Biden's call for product safety, we're not alone in this fight for responsible AI. We applaud those leading this crucial movement.
Around the world, regulatory bodies are rising to the challenge, with investigations & legal actions against OpenAI. The global consensus on the need for #AIRegulation is clear. But where does the U.S. stand?
4/6 Countries worldwide are taking swift actions! Investigations and legal proceedings are initiated in Italy, Canada, France, Australia, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the U.K., and Japan. 🌍💼 #GlobalAction#AIsafety
5/6 Our supplement complaint called out risks to democracy and consumer safety from unregulated AI products. We've got growing public support, expert opinions, bipartisan legislation, and even the President on our side! #AIregulation#DemocracyFirst
3/6 A quick recap: We've accused OpenAI of unfair and deceptive practices. Their AI product, ChatGPT, has had numerous global investigations. These have resulted in increased oversight and legal actions - something we're fighting for in the US. 🌎🔍 #AIethics#AIfairness
