M3AAWG Comments on RFI on Regulatory Reform on Artificial Intelligence
M3AAWG submitted Comments on October 24, 2025, in response to the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)'s Notice of Request for Information; Regulatory Reform on Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial intelligence offers immense opportunities but also significant risks. Like email and mobile before it, it can boost productivity, efficiency, and security when developed and deployed responsibly. As with earlier tools, however, it can also be abused and exploited by bad actors.
M3AAWG strongly supports the thoughtful advancement of AI systems that serve the public interest and protect individuals from harm. Clear, consistent, and privacy-conscious guardrails are essential, not to micromanage innovation, but to enable it to flourish safely. When rules are transparent and aligned with operational realities, organizations can act with confidence, collaborate effectively while offering a safe harbor for best-faith efforts, and innovate faster in the fight against online abuse.
M3AAWG Comments on Client-Side Scanning as a CSAM Detection Mechanism
M3AAWG vehemently supports efforts to fight Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). We recognize the devastating harm it causes and work to equip the industry with effective tools and frameworks to combat CSAM, including best common practices documents such as the M3AAWG Disposition of Child Sexual Abuse Materials BCP Revised Aug 2021. Our position is grounded in the belief that tackling CSAM requires solutions that are both operationally effective and respectful of fundamental rights, ensuring that interventions do not create new avenues for abuse or significantly deleterious side effects.
