众议员瓦莱丽·福西希望将公民权利和自由置于关于如何监管人工智能的辩论中心。
Rep. Valerie Foushee wants to put civil rights and liberties at the center of the debate over how to regulate artificial intelligence.
随着民主党人争相制定可行的人工智能监管计划，一位鲜为人知的立法者正在幕后发挥重要作用，塑造其政党对这项技术的应对方式。
As Democrats scramble to create a viable plan to regulate artificial intelligence, one little-known lawmaker is playing a major behind-the-scenes role in shaping her party’s approach to the technology.
北卡罗来纳州民主党众议员瓦莱丽·福西正值第二任期，是少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯委派的一个委员会的三位联合主席之一，负责制定人工智能政策建议。
Rep. Valerie Foushee, a North Carolina Democrat in her second term, is one of three co-chairs of a commission tasked by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to generate AI policy recommendations.
这个职位赋予了她巨大的权力，能够塑造民主党对这一快速演变问题的思考，尽管她的委员会同事通过定期出席新闻发布会和媒体采访建立了更公开的形象：加利福尼亚州众议员泰德·刘是众议院民主党核心小组副主席，而新泽西州众议员乔什·戈特海默则以自诩的温和派交易达成者而闻名。
It’s a position that has given her significant power to mold Democrats’ thinking on the rapidly evolving issue, even as her fellow commission members cut more public personas through regular appearances at news conferences and in media hits: Rep. Ted Lieu of California is vice-chair of the House Democratic Caucus, while Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey has built a reputation as a self-styled moderate dealmaker.
在本周早些时候的一次采访中，福西表示该委员会已向杰弗里斯提交了备受期待的建议“初稿”。虽然杰弗里斯最终将提供反馈以完善最终报告，但她表示将推动在任何人工智能监管框架中“始终保有人为因素”，并将公民权利和自由置于核心位置。
In an interview earlier this week, Foushee said the commission has submitted a “first draft” of its much-anticipated recommendations to Jeffries. And while Jeffries will ultimately provide feedback to inform the final report, she said she would push for there to “always be a human element” in any AI regulatory framework, with civil rights and liberties at the center.
