b'In October, the White House released a 70-plus-page document called the \\u201cBlueprint for an A.I. Bill of Rights.\\u201d The document\\u2019s ambition was sweeping. It called for the right for individuals to \\u201copt out\\u201d from automated systems in favor of human ones, the right to a clear explanation as to why a given A.I. system made the decision it did, and the right for the public to give input on how A.I. systems are developed and deployed.\\n\\nFor the most part, the blueprint isn\\u2019t enforceable by law. But if it did become law, it would transform how A.I. systems would need to be devised. And, for that reason, it raises an important set of questions: What does a public vision for A.I. actually look like? What do we as a society want from this technology, and how can we design policy to orient it in that direction?\\n\\nThere are few people who have thought as deeply about those questions as Alondra Nelson. As deputy director and acting director of the Biden White House\\u2019s Office of Science and Technology Policy, she spearheaded the effort to create the A.I. Bill of Rights blueprint. She is now a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and a distinguished senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. So I invited her on the show to discuss how the government is thinking about the A.I. policy challenge, what a regulatory framework for A.I. could look like, the possibility of a \\u201cpublic option\\u201d for A.I. development and much more.\\n\\nMentioned:\\n\\nArtificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework\\n\\nBlueprint for an A.I.
