随着人工智能在美国经济中普及,参议员马克·华纳希望对人工智能代理加以监管。这类自主机器人可为消费者完成各类任务,比如预订行程和在线购物。

这位来自弗吉尼亚州的民主党议员正在支持一项前所未有的草案法案——《人工智能准入、守门人交换与非歧视性转让法案》(简称《AI代理法案》),该法案提出了隐私与安全措施,他称这些措施将保护消费者和企业免受使用人工智能的潜在风险。

“随着代理型人工智能改变美国人与科技互动的方式,消费者理应在市场中拥有真正的选择权——而且AI代理必须对其所服务的民众负责,”华纳在周一的一份声明中说道。“这份讨论草案是构建清晰联邦框架的重要一步,该框架将促进创新、保护消费者,并确保美国继续在新兴技术领域引领全球。”

《AI代理法案》提议为接入大型在线平台的AI代理确立权利与责任,同时确保它们按照用户的最佳利益行事。该法案还将设立美国联邦贸易委员会的可信AI代理登记处,以确保消费者不会将个人信息交给可能泄露数据的机器人。

“能够访问用户最敏感的数据和权限——包括电子邮件、电商账户和信用卡——的AI代理,必须以类似受托责任的方式保护用户,”该提案的草案摘要写道。

该法案还将要求AI代理保护用户隐私及其收集的任何数据,“按照用户的最佳利益行事”,并保护企业免遭未经授权的AI代理的剥削。

华纳表示,他将在正式提交法案前,向利益相关方和公众征求对该草案的反馈意见。

据摩根士丹利的数据,到2030年,人工智能购物助手的使用量有望占到美国电商销售额的3850亿美元。

Consumers need protection from AI agents, lawmaker says

As artificial intelligence spreads across the U.S. economy, Sen. Mark Warner wants to rein in AI agents, the autonomous bots that can complete tasks for consumers, such as booking trips and shopping online.

The Virginia Democrat is supporting a first-of-its-kind draft bill — the Artificial Intelligence Access, Gatekeeper Exchange and Nondiscriminatory Transfer, or AI Agent, Act — that proposes privacy and security measures that he said would protect consumers and businesses from potential risks of using AI.

“As agentic AI transforms how Americans interact with technology, consumers deserve a real choice in the marketplace – and AI agents must be accountable to the people they serve,” Warner said in a statement on Monday. “This discussion draft is a major step toward building a clear federal framework that promotes innovation, protects consumers and ensures the United States continues to lead the world in emerging technology.”

The AI Agent Act proposes establishing rights and responsibilities for AI agents that access large online platforms, while also ensuring they act in a user’s best interest. It would also create a Federal Trade Commission registry of trusted AI agents to ensure that consumers don’t hand over their personal information to a bot that could put it at risk.

“An AI agent that has access to a user’s most sensitive data and access rights – including email, e-commerce accounts and credit cards – must behave in fiduciary-like manner to protect users,” a draft summary of the proposal states.

The measure would also require AI agents to protect users’ privacy and any data they collect, to act “in a user’s best interest,” and to protect businesses from being exploited by unauthorized AI agents.

Warner is releasing the draft bill to solicit feedback from stakeholders and the public before formally introducing it, he said.

The use of AI-powered shopping assistants could account for up to $385 billion of U.S. e-commerce sales by 2030, according to Morgan Stanley.
