Jan 7: AI Policy and Stakeholder Tracking Report

Driving the Day

Today is January 7, 2024, and here are the key policymaker and stakeholder actions on AI you need to know: In Washington, D.C., the Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidance for developers of AI-enabled medical devices. Meanwhile, Microsoft announced a two-year investment of $3 billion to expand its AI capacity in India and train Indian workers in AI. Lastly, a joint op-ed by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and former Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger urged Washington policymakers to pursue “strong export controls” so the U.S. can be the leader in AI to protect national security.

In this issue:

  • Washington in Focus: U.S. cyber ambassador Nathaniel Fick will step down on Jan. 20, which Politico suggests could create a leadership void.

  • Around the Nation: Tech Policy Press published a status update on the state laws addressing AI-powered facial recognition.

  • Across the Pond: British startup Faculty AI is working with the U.K. military on AI-powered drones.
