JAKARTA - On June 20, a group of US bipartisan legislators proposed a bill to form a commission that would study the country's approach to artificial intelligence (AI).
The main purpose of this bill is to form regulations in the AI industry. This action comes in line with the insistence of consumer protection groups in the European Union (EU) on regulators to investigate AI models behind popular chatbots.
The AI National Commission Bill was proposed by members of the US House of Representatives, Ted Lieu, Ken Buck, and Anna Eshoo. The bill proposes the establishment of a national institution that will formulate a comprehensive framework to regulate AI.
This action aims to address the potential risks associated with AI technology, with Lieu emphasizing the importance of preventing harm that could arise from unregulated AI. The commission will gather experts, government officials, industry representatives, and labor stakeholders to achieve this goal. Their efforts will focus on providing recommendations for effective AI regulations, in accordance with legislators.

Merce Hickok, President of the Center for AI and Digital Policy, supports the AI National Commission. He said the proposal was timely and important, as it would form important regulations for AI and facilitate public involvement in shaping the country's AI strategy. The center has previously warned of a lack of US readiness to face future AI challenges.
Hickok considers the proposal to form this commission a positive step forward and praised legislators for the initiative.
This comes after ongoing calls from various influential figures in the tech industry, such as billionaire Elon Musk and others, have stressed the need to implement steps to control AI's development rate. In particular, Sam Altman, CEO creator of OpenAI ChatGPT, recently expressed concerns about the need to get effective regulations in the AI industry.
