"The blueprint is a set of non-binding guidelines—or suggestions—providing a 'national values statement' and a toolkit to help lawmakers and businesses build the proposed protections into policy and products."

This is performative governance, not material policymaking.

What's wrong with the Bill of Rights given us by the Founding Fathers? They've served us well, giving us the most free country ever, and the free-est markets and capitalism. We should not add to them.

this isnt a constitutional bill of rights, this is an ancillary proposed body of law regarding digital rights.

A set of five principles developed by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy embodies the core of the AI Blueprint:

"Safe and Effective Systems," which emphasizes community feedback in developing AI systems and protections from "unsafe" AI;

"Algorithmic Discrimination Protections," which proposes that AI should be deployed in an equitable way without discrimination;

"Data Privacy," which recommends people should have agency over how data about them is used;

"Notice and Explanation," which means that people should know how and why an AI-based system made a determination;

"Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback," which recommends that people should be able to opt out of AI-based decisions and have access to a human's judgment in the case of AI-driven mistakes.
