With policymakers increasingly focused on the oversized role that Big Tech has within society and the economy, some dominant tech industry interests are now quietly attempting to use international trade negotiations as a backdoor means to thwart the United States and other governments from enforcing policies to confront the problems caused for workers, competing businesses, consumers and democracy itself by a largely unregulated digital sphere. 

Of special concern is the industry demand for special secrecy guarantees for algorithms and source codes that could outlaw proactive monitoring and otherwise undermine attempts to safeguard against discriminatory, obtrusive or otherwise harmful misuses of AI. Many algorithmic accountability bills with broad support — and the Biden administration’s own AI Bill of Rights — could run afoul of these potential trade rules. 

With far-reaching new “digital trade” agreements being negotiated this year, this panel at the ACM FAccT Conference in Chicago features leading experts in both trade policy and AI policy.  The session is being broadcast for free online via Zoom.  RSVP here for login in details. <https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OULTta2tQuWDn6F6drB03g>
