World lacks rigorous scientific methods to test AI safety: Rumman Chowdhury| India News

Published by Parlour News

The teams get dismantled. The testing tools are scientifically inadequate. The commitments don’t survive changes, corporate or political. And no jurisdiction has found a governance model that works to make AI safe and responsible. That is the assessment of Rumman Chowdhury, who led AI safety policies at (erstwhile) Twitter, at the US government, and in civil society, speaking to HT on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit.

(Getty Images for Concordia Summi) “One of the big things that happens at all these summits is new voluntary commitments,” she said. “It’s lovely PR and great optics, but what does it tangibly, fundamentally mean? These organisations cannot live at the mercy of companies or political organisations. In order to be codified or solidified, it needs to actually be something required by law.” Chowdhury has reason to be direct. She directed the ML Ethics, Transparency, and …

Australia Views OpenAI, Meta, and Google LLMs as High Risk

Australia Views OpenAI, Meta, and Google LLMs as High Risk

Published by Webster

After an eight-month investigation into the nation’s adoption of AI, an Australian Senate Select Committee recently released a report sharply critical of large tech companies — including OpenAI, Meta, and Google — while calling for their large language model products to be classified as “high-risk” under a new Australian AI law. The Senate Select Committee on Adopting Artificial Intelligence was tasked with examining the opportunities and challenges AI presents for Australia. Its inquiry covered a broad range of areas, from the economic benefits of AI-driven productivity to risks of bias and environmental impacts. The committee’s final report concluded that global tech firms lacked transparency regarding aspects of their LLMs, such as using Australian training data. Its recommendations included the introduction of an AI law and the need for employers to consult with employees if AI is used in the workplace. Big tech firms and their AI models lack transparency, report finds The committee said in its report that a significant amount of time was dedicated to discussing the structure, growth, and impact of the world’s …

AI innovation Should Be Balanced With Sensible Regulation

AI innovation Should Be Balanced With Sensible Regulation

Published by Webster

Australian-grown tech startup Dovetail’s CEO has backed the need for AI regulation to ensure the booming technology is not used for “nefarious purposes.” However, he said the practical aspects of compliance will determine how easy or difficult it is for businesses deploying AI to comply with. Benjamin Humphreys has grown customer insights platform Dovetail over the last seven years to 120 people based in Australia and the U.S. He told TechRepublic that there was a need for some action from governments to safeguard “the greater good of society” against some potential use cases of AI. While he said Australia’s proposal for mandatory AI guardrails was unlikely to stymie innovation at Dovetail, due to the proposal’s focus on high-risk AI, any moves that require extensive human reviews of AI outputs at scale within tech products could prove prohibitive if made a requirement.
