NTIA Seeks Comment on AI Accountability Policy — April 11, 2023
The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration opened a request for comment on AI accountability measures, audits, and certifications.
The inquiry asks stakeholders to evaluate the effectiveness of AI audits, impact assessments, and other mechanisms for verifying compliance with legal and ethical obligations. NTIA seeks input on the roles of independent auditors, documentation expectations, and standards for trustworthy AI.
- Audit ecosystem. NTIA explores how third-party evaluators, regulators, and self-assessments can interact.
- Transparency. Comments are requested on documentation, access to system information, and redress pathways.
- Sectoral scope. The RFI covers high-impact use cases such as employment, health care, and critical infrastructure.
Governance leads should prepare comment strategies and compare NTIA’s questions with EU conformity assessment expectations.
