The United States government has signalled that it is actively monitoring the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance on employees in light of the rapid advancements of the technology.
On May 23, 2023, White House officials announced their intention to gather information from employees regarding the use of AI for surveillance in their workplaces. To achieve this, they plan to organize a listening session that will bring together a diverse group of participants, including gig employment experts, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders. The session is expected to help the government gain deeper insights into how AI can be used for workplace surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation.
The use of AI tools and applications has seen a significant rise in popularity, with millions of users leveraging them for work-related tasks such as screenplay writing, legal brief drafting, and software debugging. However, this surge in AI adoption has raised concerns about potential privacy violations, biased hiring decisions, and the emergence of power imbalances and misinformation campaigns.
The US government also plans to make several important announcements as part of its evaluation of the technology. These will include an updated roadmap outlining federal investments in AI research, a call for public feedback on the risks associated with AI, and a comprehensive report from the Department of Education on the impact of AI on research, teaching, and learning.
This recent government move follows a meeting at the White House, where Vice President Kamala Harris brought together leaders from prominent tech companies to discuss the potential risks associated with AI. The meeting also involved nine distinguished experts from the Biden administration representing various fields such as science, national security, policy, and economics.
In another significant development, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company responsible for creating ChatGPT, testified before the US Congress in a landmark hearing focused on the potential risks associated with generative AI. This hearing was widely regarded as an important event in addressing the challenges and implications of AI technology.
