Biden, Democrats Expected to Push for Tighter Face-Scanning Regulation
Communications Daily, January 13, 2021

The Trump administration’s lasting impact on AI technology most likely will be its OMB draft guidance, said BSA Senior Director, Policy Christian Troncoso. The budget office released a draft memo to the heads of executive departments and agencies proposing guidance for the regulation of AI applications, accepting comment through March. “It provides a pretty solid foundation,” said Troncoso, noting the emphasis on a nonregulatory approach.
Troncoso expects the Biden administration to take a fresh look at the OMB guidance and apply its own “gloss.” It would be surprising for Biden to “scratch” the document entirely, because it includes a lot of consistency with international documents, he said: BSA is “pleased” OMB articulated a need for industry standards and best practices.
