White House issues RFI on AI-based technologies

The U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy filed a request for information on public and private use of artificial intelligence-based biometric technologies. More specifically, the office said it is seeking feedback on the use and deployment of technologies in relation to identity verification and detecting emotional or mental states. OSTP's Eric Lander and Alondra Nelson wrote an op-ed explaining the RFI and outlining how the Biden administration hopes to create "a 'bill of rights' to guard against the powerful technologies we have created." The comment deadline is Jan. 15, 2022.
