Techstrong.ai, Monday, August 12th, 2024
There is a strong consensus on the need for updated AI regulations and a pressing need for AI oversight, with many expressing skepticism about the current U.S. government approach.
These were the results of a Collibra and Harris Poll survey of 300 data management, privacy and AI decision makers, which indicated a demand for reforms including updating copyright laws to safeguard against AI misuse (84%).
There was notable support for requiring Big Tech companies to compensate individuals for data used in AI training models (81%), as well as support for both federal (76%) and state (75%) regulations to manage AI development.
Privacy and safety concerns (64%), misinformation (57%) and ethical use (57%) were cited as the top threats driving the call for AI regulation.
The survey also found 88% of decision-makers have significant trust in their own companies' AI strategies, and 75% believe their companies prioritize AI training and upskilling.
