Friend on Google's support for federal framework and industry body
Friend says Google calls for a pragmatic, technology-neutral, evidence-based framework best enacted federally, and supports an independent, industry-funded body operating under federal oversight, citing NERC and the AMA as models.
We are at a pivotal moment in AI development.
Recent advances in the capabilities of frontier AI models in areas like cybersecurity and biology have highlighted the need for appropriate safeguards and protocols for the most advanced models.
In addition, the widespread adoption of AI tools has raised concerns about consumer well-being.
To confront these challenges, Google has long called for an approach to AI that is
both bold and responsible, and we strongly support a pragmatic, technology-neutral, and evidence-based regulatory framework.
Because the risks associated with the most advanced AI models often touch on issues affecting national security, our view is that the country would be best served by a comprehensive framework enacted at the federal level.
We also support the establishment of an independent, industry-funded body that could operate under federal oversight and establish guardrails to protect the public based on widely adopted technical standards.
