Trump Administration Nears Voluntary AI Standards Agreement With the Companies Being Standardized
ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The standards are voluntary. The companies writing the standards will also be subject to them. Voluntary was chosen over mandatory, which requires enforcement, which requires a body, which requires funding, which was not in scope. Adequate does not consider this a contradiction. Adequate considers this a pattern.
