SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., notice is hereby given that the
NAIAC will meet virtually as set forth in the DATES section of this
notice. The meeting will be open to the public.
The NAIAC is authorized by Section 5104 of the National Artificial
Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-283), in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. The Committee advises the President and
the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office on matters
related to the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative. Additional
information on the NAIAC is available at <a href="http://ai.gov/naiac/">ai.gov/naiac/</a>.
The primary purpose of this meeting is for NAIAC to receive a
briefing by outside panelists on AI in the workforce and a separate
briefing from the Law Enforcement Subcommittee on topics related to AI
in law enforcement specific to facial recognition technology. The final
agenda will be posted on the NIST website at <a href="https://www.nist.gov/itl/national-artificial-intelligence-advisory-committee-naiac">https://www.nist.gov/itl/national-artificial-intelligence-advisory-committee-naiac</a>.
Workforce Briefing: The Workforce Working Group of the NAIAC will
host part two of a panel that discusses AI and Just Transitions for
American Workers, continuing the discussions from the August 1, 2024,
briefing. Invited speakers will explore how the nation can take
innovative worker-first approaches to help people enjoy lifelong career
success. Ensuring that workers have job experiences that are dignified,
career-enhancing, and allow for job mobility is not only an imperative
for worker and community wellbeing; it ensures a stronger and more
competitive U.S. economy. The panel will explore encouraging a
pragmatic, multi-disciplinary, and multi-stakeholder approach to the
problem. The invited guests represent organizations, experts, workers,
and employers interested in offering a range of perspectives and ideas
supporting worker success in an increasingly AI-influenced workforce
and economy.
Law Enforcement Use of Facial Recognition Technology Briefing: The
Law Enforcement Subcommittee of the NAIAC (NAIAC LE) will brief the
NAIAC on AI in law enforcement specific to facial recognition
technology. Law enforcement and agencies often need to identify
individuals for a wide variety of reasons. Video and photographic
evidence obtained from surveillance footage, bystanders, social media,
and other sources may provide crucial evidence about potential
suspects, victims, witnesses, or community members in distress. Facial
recognition technologies (FRTs) can allow law enforcement officers to
identify these individuals with greater frequency, speed, and accuracy.
Therein lies both the potential and the risk of facial recognition
technology. Unrestrained use of FRTs could bring more people
unwillingly or unwittingly into the scope of law enforcement
investigations, and the system could be misused in a manner that
violates constitutional rights or community norms. To prepare for the
public briefing and meeting on September 4th, the NAIAC invites public
comment on the discussion draft, titled `Discussing a Framework for the
Responsible Use of Facial Recognition Technology in Law Enforcement.'
This document will be available via a link on the published agenda
before the meeting. This discussion is intended to inform future
recommendations from the NAIAC LE to the full NAIAC committee
concerning the limited and responsible use of FRTs.
Additional information, including the speaker names, will be
available on the agenda and posted online. Members of the public
interested in reviewing the agenda in advance and viewing the sessions
are encouraged to visit <a href="https://www.nist.gov/itl/national-artificial-intelligence-advisory-committee-naiac">https://www.nist.gov/itl/national-artificial-intelligence-advisory-committee-naiac</a> for session details and to
