The author also proposes that any verification or validation procedure performed by a person should result in the machine's signing certificate being countersigned by the person performing the verification or validation. This procedure would also be captured in the signed inference. The author is seeking feedback on whether this approach would ensure inferences are admissible as evidence and cover causal interventions.
Key takeaways:
- The author is seeking help in drafting a policy document related to the chain of custody for AI inferences.
- They propose that AI inferences should be cryptographically signed using a certificate on the vendor’s machine, and these certificates should be managed in a Public Key Infrastructure program.
- This process would ensure that the inferences are immutable, their provenance is traceable, and they are retained as part of the record.
- They also suggest that any verification or validation procedure performed by a person should result in the machine's signing certificate being countersigned by that person, capturing this procedure in the signed inference.
