The Academy’s cross-sector expert Task Force on AI, Emerging Technology, and Disability Benefits has released its initial report outlining the principles and guardrails to guide the Social Security Administration’s approach to AI and to act as a “north star” for future regulations, guidance and policies, particularly in rights-impacting contexts.
