The Software and Information Industry Association says the federal government should rely on existing rules and frameworks as it considers ways to ensure “responsible procurement” of artificial intelligence products and services under an Office of Management and Budget memo on implementing President Biden’s Oct. 30 AI executive order.
“We believe the administration should continue encouraging the adoption of risk-based AI governance practices in general, as this approach is crucial in understanding AI use cases across the government. We believe it is also important to recognize that the desired goals of the OMB AI memo can be achieved without reshaping the scope of the government procurements process,” SIIA says in comments to OMB.
