Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Improved Security Information: Section 2(c)(2) requires an unclassified portion of the playbook that includes general guidelines and best practices suitable for dissemination to relevant individuals, including those in the private sector, which could help people better protect their systems.
-
Publicly Available Reports: Section 2(e)(3)(A)(ii) requires a publicly available version of the final report on the playbook, allowing everyday people to stay informed about artificial intelligence security efforts.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Government Involvement Analysis: Section 2(b)(4) and Section 2(b)(5) require the identification of security levels that would require substantial United States Government involvement, including an analysis of personnel vetting and security clearance adjudication processes, which could mean increased government oversight or intrusive screening for individuals working in the field.
