Representing Privacy Legislation as Business Risks

By: Andrew Chong, Richmond Wong

For this CLTC white paper, researchers Richmond Wong and Andrew Chong used Form 10-K documents — annual regulatory reports for investors that publicly traded companies must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — to analyze how nine major technology companies assess and integrate the business risks of privacy regulation like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

AI Risk-Management Standards Profile for General-Purpose AI Systems (GPAIS) and Foundation Models

By: Anthony Barrett, Jessica Newman, Brandie Nonnecke

Increasingly general-purpose AI systems, such as BERT, CLIP, GPT-4, DALL-E 2, and PaLM, can provide many beneficial capabilities, but they also introduce risks of adverse events with societal-scale consequences. This document provides risk-management practices or controls for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks of such AI systems. The document is intended primarily for developers of these AI systems; others that can benefit from this guidance include downstream developers of end-use applications that build on a general-purpose AI system platform. This document facilitates conformity with leading AI risk management standards and frameworks, adapting and building on the generic voluntary guidance in the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 23894 AI risk management standard, with a focus on the unique issues faced by developers of increasingly general-purpose AI systems.
