GAO Official: OMB ‘Lagging’ on AI Privacy Guidance

A Government Accountability Office (GAO) official warned on Tuesday that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is falling behind in issuing guidance to help federal agencies address artificial intelligence (AI) privacy risks. Speaking on July 28 at the 930gov conference in Washington, D.C., Marisol Cruz Cain, a director on GAO’s Information Technology and Cybersecurity team, said existing federal privacy guidance has struggled to keep pace with rapid advances in AI.
