Bob Casey U.S. Senator for Pennsylvania. Dear Ms. Humbert: Thank you for taking the time to contact me about artificial intelligence (AI). I appreciate hearing from you about this issue. For decades, humans have been testing the limits of technology. Alan Turing, a central figure in computer science, was one of the first to pose the question of whether machines can “think,” leading to the origination of the Turing Test to determine if a machine was capable of doing just that. Since the advent of the Turing Test, artificial intelligence has become a growing presence in our lives. While AI can bring with it innovation, from increasing cancer-detecting capabilities in medical imaging to bolstering national security by better identifying threats in real time, it can also bring harm if the proper safeguards are not in place. To capitalize on the potential of AI systems while mitigating their risks, President Biden announced a new slate of actions that his administration will take to address concerns surrounding AI. President Biden recently issued an Executive Order to direct federal agencies to root out bias in their design and use of new technologies, including AI, to reduce algorithmic discrimination. Other actions to promote responsible development of technology include securing commitments from technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI that they will participate in a public evaluation of AI systems and issuing guidance on the use of AI systems by the U.S. government to ensure that the development, procurement, and use of AI is ethical and safe.
