As we documented in Tech Policy Press, when the US Senate AI working group released its roadmap on policy on May 17th, many outside organizations were underwhelmed at best, and some were fiercely critical of the closed door process that produced it. In the days after the report was announced, a group of nonprofit and academic organizations put out what they call a "shadow report" to the US Senate AI policy roadmap. The shadow report is intended as a complement or counterpoint to the Senate working group's product. It collects a bibliography of research and proposals from civil society and academia and addresses several issues the Senators largely passed over. To learn more, Justin Hendrix spoke to some of the report's authors, including:
- Sarah West, co-executive director of the AI Now Institute
- Nasser Eledroos, policy lead on technology at Color of Change
- Paramita Shah, executive director of Just Futures Law
- Cynthia Conti-Cook, director of research and policy at the Surveillance Resistance Lab
