The principles Microsoft President Brad Smith announced Thursday:
— Installing and building government-led AI security frameworks, such as the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Risk Management Framework.
— Requiring security breaks when AI is used to manage critical infrastructure.
— Creating a legal and regulatory framework for AI applications, advanced underlying models and infrastructure.
— Support for transparency and financing of academic and non-profit research.
— Creating public-private partnerships to use artificial intelligence to address the impact it will have on society in areas such as democracy and the workforce.
Smith suggested that AI services adopt a framework from the financial services sector: Know Your Customer, or KYC. However, in this case it should be KY3C, which means AI developers should know their cloud, customers and content to limit fraud or deceptive use.
Smith announced new framework at an event in Washington, DC, on Thursday.
