EC AI White Paper

 From my perspective, here are a couple key points from the Center for 
Data Innovation's comments 
<http://www2.datainnovation.org/2020-eu-ai-whitepaper-response.pdf> on 
European Commission’s white paper on artificial intelligence 
<https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/commission-white-paper-artificial-intelligence-feb2020_en.pdf>:

    The best approach for AI would be for the Commission to encourage
    the continued development and testing of AI systems based on
    voluntary industry best practices, and only consider new regulations
    in high-risk scenarios where there is clear evidence of consumer harm.

It seems to me that industry best practices should include publishing AI 
system development and testing plans in an open, internationally 
standardized, machine-readable format like StratML.

    The EU should leverage the growing consensus of the need for global
    norms and standards for AI that align with democratic values. The EU
    should seek alliances with like-minded partners and other
    democracies, if it wants its values and principles to supersede
    China's in the global AI race.  Go-it-alone strategies and knee-jerk
    regulatory proposals will isolate the EU, and weaken other countries
    that share its values.

Such norms and standards should be published in a format like StratML, 
in which case the stratml:Relationship elements

can be leveraged to support virtual

partnerships and alliances 
<https://stratml.us/carmel/iso/UC4SwStyle.xml#_0fc1e310-08a5-11e6-b06f-a2fa45c7ae33>.  
Traditional institutions have little hope of keeping up with, much less 
controlling the dynamics of AI systems development.
