Eight civil rights, civil liberties, technology research and advocacy organizations sent this letter to Secretary of Commerce Raimondo urging appointment of qualified individuals with experience in civil rights and civil liberties law and advocacy to the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC) and the Subcommittee on Artificial Intelligence and Law Enforcement (Subcommittee). The NAIAC and the Subcommittee are charged with providing recommendations on a range of topics related to ensuring that artificial intelligence development and use does not exacerbate—and indeed helps ameliorate—bias, discrimination, and inequity in American society. The NAIAC and the Subcommittee have an opportunity to shape development and use of AI to prevent unfair, discriminatory, and abusive outcomes, and they must include the necessary civil rights and civil liberties perspectives in order to do so.
