The US government is prioritizing the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems through Executive Order 14110 in 2023. The Office of Management and Budget published Memo M-24-10 in March 2024, outlining guidelines for agencies to strengthen AI governance, promote responsible innovation, and manage risks. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is committed to responsible AI, supporting White House Voluntary AI Commitments and participating in the UK AI Safety Summit.
AWS offers services and tools to help agencies establish and implement AI governance practices, focusing on controllability, fairness, explainability, robustness, privacy, security, and transparency. Tools like Amazon SageMaker and Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor assist in identifying bias, explaining predictions, and monitoring performance. AWS’s data services ensure secure and compliant data storage, training data sets, and data lakes management.
AWS has developed an AI governance framework and provides guidance on areas like data governance, model governance, monitoring, auditing, and risk management. The company supports federal agencies in advancing responsible AI innovation through secure infrastructure, compliance certifications, and AI services designed with security features. The AWS Partner Network offers AI solutions and services for government agencies worldwide.
AWS collaborates with federal agencies to support responsible AI initiatives beyond technical offerings, providing training, certification programs, and professional services. By investing in workforce development and adhering to responsible AI principles, federal agencies can ensure the safe and ethical use of AI systems. AWS aims to empower federal agencies to unlock AI’s full potential while maintaining a safe and trusted AI ecosystem in alignment with regulatory guidelines.
