We keep up to date with the latest developments in AI & Robotics technology and its regulations:
Miso Robotics is accepting reservations for an Offering under Tier II of Regulation A. No money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent in response, it will not be accepted. No sales of securities will be made or commitment to purchase accepted until qualification of the offering statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and approval of any other required government or regulatory agency.
The two most active applications for mobile robots have been military and law enforcement. For law enforcement, most activities to date have been in the area of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), where robots are used to keep the human bomb disposal expert out of harm’s way.
Microsoft President Brad Smith joined a law professor and scientist to testify on ways to regulate artificial intelligence. The hearing took place before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law. Regulatory ideas discussed included transparency laws and labeling products, such as images and videos, as being made by AI or not. How AI may affect workers’ jobs was also discussed and debated.
The potential benefits of AI are considerable. As the first-year report by NAIAC noted, “AI is one of the most powerful and transformative technologies of our time” and has the potential to “address society’s most pressing challenges.” But different applications of AI can pose vastly different types of risk, at different levels of severity and on different timescales, depending on the technology and context of deployment.
The framework lays out specific principles for upcoming legislative efforts, including the establishment of an independent oversight body, ensuring legal accountability for harms, defending national security, promoting transparency, and protecting consumers and kids.
“AI has beneficial uses in each of the sectors under the Energy and Commerce Committee’s jurisdiction, from innovation, data, and commerce, to healthcare, to applications in energy.
“This crucial Executive Order on AI is another important example of how the Biden-Harris Administration is leading the way in responsibly using emerging technologies to benefit the American people. Today’s action represents a comprehensive approach–grounded in key principles such as safety and privacy–to ensure that we can leverage AI to help government deliver better for the people we serve, while mitigating its risks.”
The AI revolution is not a strategic surprise. We are experiencing its impact in our daily lives and can anticipate how research progress will translate into real-world applications before we have to confront the full national security ramifications.
Participants acknowledged that if AI is deployed effectively and harnessed responsibly, it promises to drive inclusive and sustainable growth–reducing poverty and inequality, advancing environmental sustainability, improving lives, and empowering individuals in all societies across all stages of development.
