The European Commission has adopted the “AI Act”, but the United States does not yet have a precise framework.
And that leaves room for lobbies of all kinds.
And abuses, like the false pornographic images of singer Taylor Swift shared a few weeks ago on social networks, were created by artificial intelligence.
Or this fake phone call that some New Hampshire voters received in January as they were going to vote in their parties’ primary. A call created, again, thanks to artificial intelligence. With a voice that imitated that of… Joe Biden.
She said : “It is important that you save your vote for the November election. Voting this Tuesday only allows Republicans to re-elect Donald Trump. »
Obviously it was not the American president, the White House denied and condemned the method.
But AI obviously has its defenders in the United States. And the first of them is perhaps Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, the company which invested several billions in Open AI, the parent company of the Chat GPT robot.
This is what he said recently about AI, it was on CNN from the World Economic Forum in Davos:
“It’s a bit like a white-collar worker being responsible for giving health advice, writing code, and answering technical support calls.
The economic productivity will be fantastic in the next 5 years if we introduce this technology in the medical sector and education. »
Bill Gates is enthusiastic, but he doesn’t talk much about regulation when it comes to artificial intelligence.
The European Union has a completely different approach from the United States, which does not yet seem to have seriously regulated this innovation. There are mainly good intentions in America, but regulation itself is more complicated. We talked about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence when the bosses of several tech giants were heard in Congress. But that’s about all.
Particularly because of the political divisions in the two Chambers: the Senate with a Democratic majority and the House of Representatives held by the Republicans.
The only real text was last October: a decree signed by Joe Biden in which we find the rules and principles supposed to “regulate” this technology. The text notably requires companies in the sector to transmit the results of their security tests to the federal government. When there is a serious risk to national security, economic security or public health.
We cannot say that there are really any safeguards in terms of artificial intelligence for the moment in the United States.
