Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced a new artificial intelligence policy framework aimed at filling the federal gap and protecting citizens.
Maryland Governor Moore has unveiled a new policy framework aimed at protecting communities, workers, and children through the responsible development, deployment, and regulation of artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence and Security Principles
The Governor of Maryland has introduced a new artificial intelligence framework to mitigate the risks of this rapidly evolving technology and ensure it serves the public.
Implemented at a time when there are insufficient protective measures at the federal level, this policy aims to safeguard the rights of citizens.
Three Core Guiding Principles
The newly announced agenda is built upon three core guiding principles: protecting the public, centering workers, and ensuring the safety of children.
Regulation and Protection Areas
The new framework includes the regulation of frontier artificial intelligence companies, the establishment of a legal right of publicity, and addressing discriminatory housing algorithms and rental disputes.
It also aims to protect vulnerable gamblers and fill the federal gap regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace.
Worker Rights and Workforce Investments
Envisaging the establishment of labor-management committees, this comprehensive plan includes investments aimed at upskilling workers so the workforce can thrive in the age of artificial intelligence.
Protection of Children
The initiative also brings safety measures designed to protect children against chatbots, addictive social media designs, and the use of artificial intelligence in schools.
