Nov 3, 2023 - Informal discussion on Biden Responsible AI Executive Order - Jim Mason
There is a lot to digest. This is NOT a presentation but an open discussion around the order and Responsible AI.
The goal is to define specific areas of research to focus on for follow up sessions on the concepts, candidate policies, actions the agencies and other organizations are taking to deliver on the goals for Responsible AI.
Like the White House Executive Order on Digital Assets in 2022, this Executive Order instructs US Government agencies to take specific actions to define how Responsible AI should be implamented. The Executive Order provides guidance on Responsible AI principles, policies and guidelines that should be created.
More details on the executive order are here:

UC4 - Residents need full recovery capabilities to securely restore access to their digital wallets, vaults
UC5 - A state has many applications for residents usually accessible through a user id and password today, a digital ID should provide the same access

Digital Asset & CBDC Legislation Trends - Jim Mason
Many countries and states are looking at options to regulate digital assets and CBDC ( Central Bank Digital Currencies ). In some cases, digital asset legislation is now law. Digital asset legislation may include: CBDC, cryptocurrencies, stable coins, NFTs ( Non-fungible tokens ) and other forms of digital assets as well as the exchanges, marketplaces, custodians and service providers where they are sold and traded. These bills and laws can have a major impact on how these digital assets are used, valued and traded now and in the future for investments, commerce and payments.
For each category of digital assets, we'll: define the asset type, use cases, privacy and key related legislation sections
Some of the legislation we'll cover includes:
- MICA - the Markets in Crypto Assets proposal passed by the European Parliament
- The State of Wyoming Digital Assets Legislation in force since 2019
- The US Executive Action on Responsible Development of Digital Assets ( March 9, 2022 )
- the US Lummis-Gillibrand Digital Assets Bill
Don't miss this session. Bring your questions and ideas.

Charter and FAQ
Scope
The activities of the Public-SIG include:
identifying related use cases, current pilots, and proofs of concept;
sharing stories of successes, failures, opportunities, and challenges;
exploring cross-cutting concerns like security, privacy, and identity in government contexts;
identifying existing or needed common critical software components that would serve the particular needs of the public sector;
identifying conferences or other opportunities to connect face to face, as well as submit talks or present as a group at an event.
This activity will be automatically recorded in email archives when conducted over the mailing list. When this activity is conducted in other media, it will be captured as notes or other formats and posted to the list (so it is archived), or possibly to the Hyperledger Wiki. This activity might also be turned into reports from the Special Interest group (recommendations to the rest of Hyperledger, for example) or other kinds of content (blog posts, content for publications, etc).
| The Public Sector SIG is prohibited from performing or engaging in any form of lobbying or attempts to influence government policy-making or regulatory processes. It is also not intended as a platform for procurement of services. |
|---|
Work Products
The initial work product will be a set of documents which analyze the space of government and regulatory use cases for blockchain technology. This will be an inventory of example use cases which captures common government processes, which may suggest applications that are built or could be built using software being developed at Hyperledger. The public-sector-sig may also host in-person meetings intended to accelerate the Special Interest Group's mission.
