This study examines the extent to which U.S. federal agencies responded to
and implemented the principles outlined in the White House's October 2022
"Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights." The Blueprint provided a framework for
the ethical governance of artificial intelligence systems, organized around
five core principles: safety and effectiveness, protection against algorithmic
discrimination, data privacy, notice and explanation about AI systems, and
human alternatives and fallback.
Through an analysis of publicly available records across 15 federal
departments, the authors found limited evidence that the Blueprint directly
influenced agency actions after its release. Only five departments explicitly
mentioned the Blueprint, while 12 took steps aligned with one or more of its
principles. However, much of this work appeared to have precedents predating
the Blueprint or motivations disconnected from it, such as compliance with
prior executive orders on trustworthy AI. Departments' activities often
emphasized priorities like safety, accountability and transparency that
overlapped with Blueprint principles, but did not necessarily stem from it.
The authors conclude that the non-binding Blueprint seems to have had minimal
impact on shaping the U.S. government's approach to ethical AI governance in
its first year. Factors like public concerns after high-profile AI releases and
obligations to follow direct executive orders likely carried more influence
over federal agencies. More rigorous study would be needed to definitively
assess the Blueprint's effects within the federal bureaucracy and broader
society.

研究考察了美国联邦机构对白宫于 2022 年 10 月发布的《AI 权利法案纲要》所概述的原则的回应和实施程度，发现该纲要对联邦机构的行动影响有限，仅有 5 个部门明确提到该纲要，而 12 个部门采取的措施与其一个或多个原则相一致，但很大部分工作似乎在该纲要之前就有了，或者其动机与该纲要无关联，作者得出结论称这种非约束力的纲要对塑造美国政府在道德 AI 治理方面的方法似乎产生了最小的影响。
