/ Alexandra Reeve Givens

In advance of the U.S. Senate AI Insight Forum on Innovation, held on October 24, 2023, CDT President and CEO Alexandra Reeve Givens submitted this statement.

In the statement, Givens called on Congress to reject the idea that addressing AI harms is somehow counter to innovation, and to lead the world by passing legislation that creates baseline standards for responsible AI systems that work, are safe, and protect people’s rights. Givens also outlined key elements of trustworthy AI, and several steps that Congress can take towards this goal.
