Policy makers need to understand how AI really works. Otherwise bills like SB 1047 totally fail to achieve their stated goals.
A stated goal of DSR is to ensure model outputs “respect social mores and ethics” and “adhere to the correct political direction, public opinion orientation and values trends”. The text of SB 1047 defines “Artificial Intelligence Model” as “an engineered or machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments and that may operate with varying levels of autonomy”. Harmful models have continued to be deployed, such as the algorithm behind the tragic Robodebt Scheme, which incorrectly and unfairly cut thousands of Australians from critical social services, resulting in suicides, divorces, and destroyed lives all around the country.
