Council Member Gutiérrez raises questions about potential privacy concerns and information sharing within the AI advisory network and steering committee. Alex Foard from OTI addresses these concerns and explains the scope of information sharing.
- Neither the advisory network nor the internal steering committee deals directly with specific agency tools
- There are no data sharing activities as part of either group
- The steering committee meets quarterly
- Agencies can voluntarily share information about their AI priorities and vision
- The steering committee does not review individual tools or share data derived from or utilized within specific use cases
- The focus is on high-level policy discussions rather than detailed agency-specific information

Okay.
1:15:41
And is there any concern or any issue with, like, private agency information?
1:15:49
With respect to the advisory network since I know these are these are folks that are nominated.
1:15:53
I'm I'm assuming there's some kind of level of vetting to make sure.
1:15:56
But is there any concern?
1:15:57
Any privacy concerns or any, like, issue with agency
Darío Maestro
1:16:02
Sure.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:16:03
Information.
1:16:04
Crossing over.
Alex Foard
1:16:05
So to be clear, neither the advisory network nor the internal steering committee deals directly with specific agency tools.
1:16:11
There are no data sharing activities as part of either of those groups.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:16:16
Thank you.
1:16:19
And then can you just confirm the the steering committee meets?
1:16:24
How many you already said it
Alex Foard
1:16:25
by?
1:16:25
Quarterly.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:16:25
Quarterly.
1:16:26
Okay.
1:16:28
Okay.
1:16:39
So agencies have not worked directly have not shared any, like, direct agency information.
Alex Foard
1:16:46
With the advisory network members?
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:16:47
Or aren't just within the steering committee?
Alex Foard
1:16:49
Well, certainly, agencies could volunteer information about, you know, their AI priorities.
1:16:54
That's what
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:16:54
we
Alex Foard
1:16:54
want them to do to talk about where they, you know, see their vision, etcetera.
1:16:58
Again, one of the activities of the steering committee is not to review individual tools or to share data derived from or or, you know, utilize within a space.
1:17:06
Okay.
