Hello,
Below see recent highlights from the RDA AIDV-WG shared citation library. There are recent articles on Civil Society participation in Standards Development in AI, some news on the ChatGPT pause,  Italy’s temporary ChatGPT ban, and an article on Data sharing in the age of deep learning that asks: “How can we protect personal information and the integrity of artificial intelligence models when sharing data?” 
You can access the group’s full shared library online at Zotero:

The article explains what ChatGPT is, how the Italian DPA handled it, and what this tells us about the current state of EU data protection law and attempts to regulate ‘artificial intelligence’.

Future of Life Institute (2023) Policymaking In The Pause. https://futureoflife.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FLI_Policymaking_In_The_Pause.pdf 
FLI have called on AI labs to institute a development pause until they have protocols in place to ensure that their systems are safe beyond a reasonable doubt, for individuals, communities, and society. Regardless of whether the labs will heed the call, their policy brief provides policymakers with concrete recommendations for how governments can manage AI risks stating that:  
The recommendations are by no means exhaustive: the project of AI governance is perennial and will extend far beyond any pause. Nonetheless, implementing these recommendations, which largely reflect a broader consensus among AI policy experts, will establish a strong governance foundation for AI. 
FLI’s Policymaking  in the Pause recommendations: 
1. Mandate robust third-party auditing and certification. 
2. Regulate access to computational power. 
3. Establish capable AI agencies at the national level. 
4. Establish liability for AI-caused harms. 
5. Introduce measures to prevent and track AI model leaks. 
6. Expand technical AI safety research funding. 
7. Develop standards for identifying and managing AI-generated content and recommendations. 

A useful dashboard is available on Future of Life Institute’s  (2022) Global AI Policy page at https://futureoflife.org/resource/ai-policy/ includes a National AI Strategy Radar Dashboard & Companion Doc View 

The above dashboard pictured above summarizes the distribution of AI documents published by governments and sorted by geography, year, and topic and was created with the help of a natural language processing tool that categorized documents downloaded from the OECD’s AI governance database in February of 2022. Further background information on this initiative is available in a Dec 2022  blog post on Characterizing AI Policy using Natural Language Processing  and users can expect periodic updates to this resource.
 
The companion “document view” dashboard pictured below gives an in depth look at all the documents individually, organized by their country of origin and the topics.

Hi,
For those reading on an email client,  screenshots are attached of the National AI Strategy Radar dashboards (which were corrupted in the email generated by my post yesterday to our rd-alliance.org AIDV forum via the web, apologies!) 
And, as a bonus (to make up for the image blobs yesterday) here’s a link to the April 10 release of the  Artifical Intelligence and Democratic Values Report . The report metrics have been updated in this edition to take into consideration the implementation of the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on AI Ethics as well as the 2022 Global Privacy Assembly Resolution on Facial Recognition. The index now covers 75 countries. Maps, based on the country evaluations for individual metrics,  are available here. 
Also of interest to many here will be the Future of Life AI Value Alignment Research Landscape graph viz that  lays out technical research threads in AI that can help us to create beneficial AI, and illustrates how these many topics tie together, you can visit at the link below: 
https://futureoflife.org/valuealignmentmap/ 
Sincerely, 
Natalie
ps yesterday’s screenshots from: The FLI National AI Strategy Radar Dashboards are attached .
