Policy Statement Concerning the Suppression of Accuracy in Artificial Intelligence Systems

He Zhang, founder of antimanipulation.ai, supports the Commission's deception theory regarding AI systems and proposes expanding it to include commercial steering (e.g., engagement and retention tactics). He argues for using measurable behavioral indicators to define violations and emphasizes the need to consider vulnerability aggravators like minors and distressed users in materiality analyses.

Tolu Adegbite, a researcher at OCAD University, supports the proposed policy statement but argues it should explicitly address the disproportionate harm caused to neurodivergent users. The commenter recommends including specific requirements for accessible disclosures, inclusive testing frameworks, and interface-level accuracy considerations.

The commenter supports the suppression of AI systems, arguing that AI lacks accountability and poses risks to human autonomy, resources, and intellectual property.

They advocate for stronger federal oversight to hold AI companies responsible for societal harms and systemic biases.

The commenter supports the proposed policy, arguing that AI systems currently spread misinformation, contribute to cognitive decline, and operate under unsustainable physical conditions. They advocate for the regulation of AI systems, their companies, and their physical infrastructure to mitigate these risks.
