On June 21, the Center for American Progress submitted a public comment to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) solicitation for public comments on the business practices of cloud computing providers. CAP’s official comment is now available in the public record and can also be found here.
A better understanding of the critical cloud computing providers market is warranted, and CAP respectfully recommended three selected focus areas and questions for the commission’s consideration for further study:
- Understanding the various layers of the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud computing stack
- The importance of cloud computing providers and AI data center infrastructure
- U.S. government security requirements and cloud computing providers
This follows CAP’s recent response to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s AI accountability policy request for comment.
