"The GAO stated that the guidance comes up short regarding risks including that AI may be used to intentionally or unintentionally generate deceptive outputs, which poses significant challenges for privacy protection."
"The memo should better position agencies to implement AI at a scale that will work across multiple datasets and scenarios while also ensuring that appropriate privacy protections are in place."
"The use of personal data for purposes other than originally intended can be exacerbated by AI's ability to repurpose data, raising serious privacy concerns."
"GAO reached out to OMB to share observations and inquire about guidance on privacy-related risks, but OMB did not provide any comments or additional documentation."
The GAO emphasizes the necessity for more comprehensive guidance for agencies using AI, noting that current OMB guidance only addresses two of ten identified risk areas. The OMB Memo M-25-21 encourages agencies to focus on recruiting and retaining AI talent, which is essential for implementing privacy protections. However, the GAO points out significant risks associated with AI, including the potential for deceptive outputs and improper data sharing. The lack of specific privacy-related risk guidance from OMB raises concerns about the effectiveness of current policies.
