- EFF Senior Policy Analyst Dr. Matthew Guariglia testified to a House Homeland Security subcommittee about AI security.
- He argued that adopting powerful AI technologies requires strong safeguards to protect Constitutional rights.
- Using generative AI for mass government surveillance could worsen violations of civil liberties.
- Government secrecy and proprietary technology hinder public and legislative awareness of AI errors.
- AI mistakes, like false legal citations and inadequate DHS training, pose serious risks.
- Reining in agencies that deploy AI is emphasized over solely controlling AI technology.
