RE: C4DI AI Strategy for the U.S.

Milton, no, I don’t have any particular insight to AI strategies compiled by other countries.  However, this Google site-specific query <https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=AI&btnG=Google+Search&domains=stratml.us&sitesearch=stratml.us>  of the StratML collection turns up about 157 hits on “AI”.

 

To the extent that time permits, I’d like to convert additional AI strategies to StratML format as well, e.g., Canada’s.  https://www.cifar.ca/ai/pan-canadian-artificial-intelligence-strategy 

 

However, it would be good if others could help render them in open, standard, machine-readable format.  This Google query <https://www.google.com/search?q=national+AI+strategies&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS719US719&oq=national+AI+strategies&aqs=chrome..69i57.11223j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8>  turns up more than 82 million hits on “national AI strategies”.  Here’s the top hit: https://medium.com/politics-ai/an-overview-of-national-ai-strategies-2a70ec6edfd

Dear Owen,

 

Thanks for this update. My question: do you have any knowledge of comparable guidelines for other countries for review?

 

Since AI like the internet knows no boundaries, all standards and guidelines at national levels have to become compatible.

 

E.g. do you know of any comparable guidelines in Australia, UK, Canada and New Zealand and the European Union?

The goals and objectives set forth in the Center for Data Innovation’s (C4DI) proposed AI strategy for the U.S. are now available in StratML format at http://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#C4DINAIS  

 

These objectives are closely related to the purposes of the StratML standard:

 

Objective 2.1.7.1: <http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/C4DINAISwStyle.xml#_4751ec6e-1827-11e9-8fa1-8a76d5e8efbc>  Performance & Safety Standards - Publish performance and safety standards for various key military AI applications

 

Performance should be reported in an open, standard, machine-readable format, as ostensibly required of U.S. federal agencies by section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act.  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-machine-readable-government-owen-ambur/ 

 

Objective 3.1: <http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/C4DINAISwStyle.xml#_475211ee-1827-11e9-8fa1-8a76d5e8efbc>  Sector Strategies - Create strategies for supporting AI adoption in relevant sectors

 

Such strategies should be documented and shared in an open, standard, machine-readable format, leveraging the stratml:Relationship elements <http://stratml.us/references/oxygen/PerformancePlanOrReport20160216_xsd.htm#Relationship>  to enable synergistic strategic alignment across plans, organizations, and sectors.

 

Objective 5.1: <http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/C4DINAISwStyle.xml#_47523fe8-1827-11e9-8fa1-8a76d5e8efbc>  Accountability - Encourage adherence to the principle of algorithmic accountability

 

Lacking performance metrics shared in a readily usable format, the concept of “accountability” is pretty meaningless.  Anyone’s preconceived biases are as good as anyone else’s.

 

BTW, perhaps I may be wrong but it seems to me that attempting to constrain AI by geopolitical boundaries is not only artificially ignorant <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/artificial-ignorance-owen-ambur/>  but, ultimately, also an exercise in futility.
