The Department of Labor has announced a set of principles that provide employers and developers that create and deploy artificial intelligence with guidance:
Developed as a result of President Biden’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, this initiative underscores the administration’s commitment to ensuring AI technologies strengthen worker empowerment and well-being while addressing risks to workers.
Kevin Surace, Chair, Token had this comment:
The DOL guidelines released today put human workers at the forefront of protection from AI including privacy, security, quality of life and ethics. This will force companies to engage HR as well as the CIO in all things AI going forward. Additional guidance is coming from all agencies. But for now this DOL guidance is very clear that worker empowerment is the north star. Meaning HR is also leading the way in all AI decisions across an organization.
DOL doesn’t make law, but does provide guiding principals for labor. These are their first AI principles and are squarely centered on the human aspects of and impact from AI. This will fly in the face of productivity gains which are often measured by reduction in headcount. How a company balances that reduction with the ethics of AI and the guiding principals here of worker empowerment are a quandary not easily resolved.
This guidance is very much focused on worker privacy and empowerment. Data security is already front and center with CIOs and CISO’s and that has less to do with employees and more to do with corporate IP.
This is another one of these good moves by the Biden administration. Hopefully this bears fruit and protects workers. That would be a great thing.
