The history of AI governance is marked by a series of power struggles and conflicts of interest, including the role of government agencies, corporations, and academic institutions. A deeper understanding of these historical patterns is essential for creating more inclusive and equitable AI policies.
The appointment of former Attorney General Pam Bondi to the White House AI panel highlights the need for more inclusive and equitable AI governance.
A comprehensive framework for AI governance that prioritizes community and environmental well-being, as well as social and economic equity, is essential for mitigating the risks and benefits of AI. This framework should involve diverse stakeholders, including indigenous communities, marginalized groups, and civil society organizations. Regular impact assessments and effective regulations and oversight mechanisms are also necessary to ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that benefit society as a whole.
