The federal govt’s increasing reliance on CAI/PII is outpacing its ability to regulate it – putting your data in the wrong hands.
As AI systems become increasingly integrated into government processes, protecting fundamental constitutional rights cannot be an afterthought.

FedRAMP should add CAI/PII to the mix, requiring datasets be assessed on the following information (see screenshot)
Bonus: FedRAMP authorizations are strictly enforced, offering a level of rigor that voluntary assessments just can’t match

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, lovingly known as FedRAMP, already has a mandate to ensure the security of cloud service providers for the federal government uses, and that mandate has recently been expanded to AI technologies.

When a federal agency wants new software, say, for example, cloud management software, it has to make a series of assessments and justifications to procure and implement it. Why not do this for datasets too?

The Privacy Act of 1974 covers the use of federally-collected personal information, but there is no specific guidance covering the federal use of third-party data, leaving one huge gaping loophole that it is critical to fix.

ICE and CBP have used broker-purchased location data to track individuals without warrants, raising constitutional concerns; and DHS loves cell phone data. Mass surveillance is made much easier by all this data.

The federal government is one of the largest buyers of Commercially Available Data (CAI), much of it containing Personally Identifiable Information. Some of this data is used for good (think public health research projects); some of it… Not so much.
