Groups Tell NTIA to Seek Diverse Agency Input for AI Consultation

NTIA shouldn’t rely solely on national security agencies when assessing the benefits and risks of open AI models, a wide range of advocates wrote Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo on Monday. NTIA’s public consultation (see 2402230039) should go through a “robust” interagency review with input from agencies focused on competition, civil rights and scientific research, “not just the agencies that oversee national security,” the groups said. The Center for Democracy & Technology, the Chamber of Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Engine, Fight for the Future, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, Mozilla, the Open Technology Institute, Public Knowledge and R Street Institute signed the letter.
