Last week, our team received a thoughtful question from a technical leader based in Baltimore, Maryland.
“As more companies start leveraging AI systems, should there be industry specific guidelines regarding risk levels and policies? Or would broad regulations make more sense even if certain sectors rarely deal with high risk scenarios?”
Our team at Sema believes that the answer is a mix of all of the above. Our founder and CEO, Matt Van Itallie elaborates:
- Companies will set standards based on their individualized risk assessment
- Government regulators, such as the FDA and the Copyright Office in the U.S., are setting standards that will apply to applicable organizations
- Industry stakeholders will be setting standards that will become common practice above and beyond company standards and government regulators.
- Two examples of stakeholders include, first, acquirers and investors, who have begun to check GenAI usage during diligence.
- And second, procurement offices. Many procurement offices require an analysis of open source composition; we predict (and have been told) they will expand their requirements to GenAI code, too.
