In deploying AI, the Federal Aviation Administration faces unique challenges

While the FAA has implemented risk management standards for the safety of national airspace, the agency told FedScoop it still needs to “adapt AI risk management methodologies and best practices from the National Institute of Science and Technology,” along with other institutions. The FAA has released several use cases in its AI inventory, but many of them are still somewhat modest, experts told FedScoop. Other uses are still in the research phase. 

DISA unveils strategic plan for next five years

Building upon the previous plan, released in 2022, the DISA Next Strategy, as it’s called, seeks to align the combat support agency with the 2022 National Defense Strategy and five-year budgeting process to help department leadership and industry partners make more informed decisions for allocating resources.

Federal Privacy Bill Aims To Consolidate US Privacy Law Patchwork

On April 7, 2024, Sen. Maria Cantwell, chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, advanced a new federal privacy bill to the House floor titled the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA). Although it is not yet law, many observers are optimistic that the APRA will move forward due to its bipartisan support and the compromises it reaches on the issues of preemption and private rights of action, which have stalled prior federal privacy bills.

How often do law enforcement agencies use high-risk AI? Presidential advisers want answers

A national AI advisory group will recommend this week that law enforcement agencies be required to create and publish annual summary usage reports for facial recognition and other AI tools of that kind.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition

The changes in policy come a week after Axon, a maker of tech and weapons products for military and law enforcement, announced a new product that leverages OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative text model to summarize audio from body cameras. Critics were quick to point out the potential pitfalls, like hallucinations (even the best generative AI models today invent facts) and racial biases introduced from the training data (which is especially concerning given that people of color are far more likely to be stopped by police than their white peers).

Teens see social media algorithms as accurate reflections of themselves, study finds

Scholars have begun to demonstrate that technology is having generation-shaping effects, not merely in the way it influences cultural outlook, behavior and privacy, but also in the way it can shape personality among those brought up on social media.
