Here are the questions that appear on that AI questionnaire. I am trying to find a good time for a zoom call but it would save time and effort to have some of these filled out in advance if possible. Especially if you can't make the zoom call. No need to fill all in. Just pick a couple. Send them to me and I will cobble it all together.

Experiences with and Impacts of AI Technologies

1. How have AI technologies impacted your life? Feel free to share specific stories, anecdotes, or experiences (while being mindful of not divulging personally identifying details about others without their consent). Refer to the list of example AI technologies provided. 

2. How have AI technologies impacted a community you’re part of or a cause you care about? 

3. How do you, your organization or your community use AI, and how frequently?

4. How has AI been used on you, your colleagues, or your community? What have been the impacts of that? 

5. Do you go out of your way to avoid using AI, or certain types of AI (e.g., generative AI, or paying with cash to avoid your purchase decisions being analyzed)? Why or why not?

6. If you use AI technologies in your personal life around others—such using AI tools as in your work output or in interpersonal communications, or using AI-enabled devices in your home or office, do you make a point to disclose that usage to others who may be impacted (e.g., friends, family, intimate partners, colleagues, visitors)? Why or why not? 

Problems and Concerns with AI

1. What are your key concerns with AI, in general, or with specific AI-based technologies? 

2. What do you see as the most important or urgent problems with AI, in general? What about specific AI-based technologies? (Important problems may be those that you think are the most important, but can be addressed over a longer period of time. Urgent problems are those you may not think are the most important overall, but must be addressed right now, or as soon as possible.)

Use Cases: Worthwhile or Worth Banning? 

1. What do you consider to be worthwhile use cases for AI technologies, if any? Tell us about how you weigh up the benefits versus the costs. If you believe there are simply no worthwhile use cases for AI technologies, or for specific types, why is that the case? 

2. Do you think AI as a class of technologies should be banned entirely? If so, why?  

3. Do you think specific kinds of AI technologies or use cases should be banned? If so, which specific ones, and why? 

4. What are some ways you would recommend, to support worthwhile use cases and/or ban specific AI technologies or use cases, or otherwise retain worthwhile benefits from AI technologies while minimizing, preventing, or avoiding the harms (if you believe this is possible, and if not, please explain if you have not already)? 

Missing from the Discussion 

1. When you consider general public discussion, mainstream media coverage, and cultural conversations around AI, is there anything you think is missing from the conversation? What should be raised in public dialogue?

2. Do you have concerns with how Ai technologies are positioned or framed in public discourse? How would you frame or position them differently?

3. What do you think lawmakers and policymakers most need to know or keep in mind when addressing AI or creating a “national strategy” on AI? 

4. Is there anything that wasn’t covered in this submission template that you’d like to add? Include that here or wherever else in this document you see fit. 

Recommendations 

1. Do you have specific recommendations for lawmakers, policymakers, or anyone else in a position of power (e.g., school boards, employers, law enforcement, journalists) to implement when it comes to any of the things you discussed above? If so, explain them here.
