The White House AI Intervention on Ethics, AI for the Public Good, and a Declaration of Interest to the Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy also said that $140 million will be diverted towards launching seven new National AI Research Institutes focused on developing ethical, transformative AI for the public good, bringing the total number to 25 nationwide.

“These steps build on the Administration’s strong record of leadership to ensure technology improves the lives of the American people, and break new ground in the federal government’s ongoing effort to advance a cohesive and comprehensive approach to AI-related risks and opportunities,” the administration’s press release said. It does not specify the details of what the Def Con evaluation will include, beyond saying that it will “allow these models to be evaluated thoroughly by thousands of community partners and AI experts.”

The White House AI intervention comes as appetite for regulating the technology is growing around the world, fueled by the hype and investment sparked by ChatGPT. In the parliament of the European Union, lawmakers are negotiating final updates to a sweeping AI Act that will restrict and even ban some uses of AI, including adding coverage of generative AI. The Brazilian government is considering a regulation regarding human rights in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Points will be awarded under a “Capture the Flag” format to encourage participants to test for a wide range of bugs or unsavory behavior from the AI systems. The event will be carried out with the help of Microsoft, SeedAI, and Humane Intelligence. She previously led a group at Twitter working on ethics and machine learning, and hosted a bias bounty that uncovered bias in the social network’s automatic photo cropping.
