Where experimentation meets emerging tech

Open Loop hosted the second part of the event series “Where experimentation meets emerging tech”

March 31, 2022

Partnership with the think tank Demos Helsinki

On March 31, Open Loop, in partnership with the think tank Demos Helsinki, explored case studies of current initiatives of experimental governance (e.g regulatory sandboxes) around the world with speakers from the Malta Digital Innovation Authority, the Latin America Development Bank, the OECD and University College London, who identified best practices and ways forward for the future of tech regulation.

The event gathered over 30 participants from institutions, civil society, industry and academia. The final part of the series will take place in late April.

Competition in AI Foundation Models

Meta’s Open Loop program is excited to have launched its first policy prototyping program in the United Kingdom, which is focused on testing the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) AI Principles to ensure that they are clear, implementable and effective at guiding the ongoing development and use of AI Foundation Models, while protecting competition and consumers.

Generative AI Risk Management

Meta’s Open Loop launched its first policy prototyping research program in the United States in late 2023, focused on testing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0. This program gave participating companies the opportunity to learn about NIST's AI RMF and subsequent “Generative AI Profile” (NIST AI 600-1), and to understand how this guidance can be applied to developing and deploying generative AI systems. At the same time, the program gathered evidence on current practices and provided valuable insights and feedback to NIST, which can inform future iterations of the RMF and Gen AI profile.
