The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology has created a working group that will expand efforts by other federal agencies in ensuring the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence.
The PCAST Working Group on Generative AI will consult experts from all sectors as well as the public to identify challenges and opportunities in the safe and secure deployment of the technology, the White House announced Saturday.
The working group will build on various government initiatives, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Risk Management Framework, and the Congress-enacted National Security Commission on AI and National Artificial Intelligence Initiative.
Its first activity will be a public meeting on May 19, which will involve expert panel discussions and a public session on AI as an enabler to science and an influential element in society.
The PCAST Working Group is a nine-member team co-led by Laura Greene, chief scientist of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, and Terence Tao, James and Carol Collins chair in the College of Letters and Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles.
