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 <https://stratml.us/references/oxygen/PerformancePlanOrReport20160216_xsd.htm#Relationship> can be leveraged to support virtual <https://stratml.us/carmel/iso/UC4SwStyle.xml#_0fc1e4d2-08a5-11e6-b06f-a2fa45c7ae33> 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.
