Oklahoma City (KSWO) – Reports on AI chatbots and mental health impacts like ChatGPT have sparked concerns across the state.
Even AI Space CEOs are raising concerns, with over 70% of teens using chatbots for dating, and some are asking the government to regulate them.
Lawton-based Oklahoma’s leading Daniel Peh was at the forefront of AI law, writing numerous bills on the subject and co-led with interim research into the ethical, legal and social implications of AI.
He believes AI will help bridge the gaps in rural healthcare coverage, but says accountability is important.
“At the end of the day, it’s important to maintain human surveillance,” Pae said. “We shouldn’t get to a point where we’re completely dependent on AI and technology. We need to make sure that human surveillance is still relevant, and that’s the way you’re ultimately accountable in this area.”
Pae adds that as long as Congress is focused on protecting individual privacy while not restraining innovation, he will be in a good place when it comes to AI policies.
