A leading executive at IBM is set to ask the Senate for a “precision regulation” approach to guardrails for artificial intelligence.
Congress should “establish rules to govern the deployment of A.I. in specific use-cases, not regulating the technology itself,” IBM Chief Privacy and Trust Officer Christina Montgomery will say in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, according to a copy of her remarks provided to the Washington Examiner.

She said the principles for regulation include treating AI according to the possible risks, defining what sort of risks it could present, ensuring transparency about when an AI is being used, and requiring companies to show what impact the AI is having on their users.

Montgomery also emphasized the United States’s need to compete. “When it comes to AI, America need not choose between responsibility, innovation, and economic competitiveness,” Montgomery said. “We can, and must, do all three now.”
Montgomery will testify alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and New York University professor Gary Marcus.
