Details:
The President and Vice President of the US have made it clear: AI is a national security and economic priority. Vice President Vance declared, “this administration will ensure that American AI technology continues to be the gold standard worldwide and we are the partner of choice for others — foreign countries and certainly businesses — as they expand their own use of AI.” But the Biden and Trump Administration have not paid sufficient attention to a key element of the AI supply chain, data. In contrast with Germany, Switzerland, and other countries, the US has no national strategy for the role of data in the economy or for the various types of data that underpin foundation models. The US also has no clear strategy for domestic or international dataset sharing beyond the NAIRR, which could be defunded. The Biden Administration issued the first executive orders since Reagan, to limit the free flow of data and data broker sales to some countries. Please join us for Webinar 50 which will explore the implications of U.S. data policies for AI development.

How should we think about data?
We have little information about what data firms collect, how these firms use or sell our data, or how they mix various data types. If we want these markets to operate more equitably and efficiently, policymakers must focus on the governance of data.

e.g. birthdates
Proprietary or Confidential Business Data
