Dr. Udell calls for AI labeling, limits on automated decisions and stronger data rights

Dr. Udell said regulators should require that "everything that is AI generated should be labeled as such," arguing labeling would preserve recognition of human creativity. He also said AI should not be allowed to make consequential human decisions: "They should not be able to open a bank account. They should not be able to be put in a weapon to make a decision to kill or not."

He raised privacy concerns about data collection from apps and devices, saying "that data... belongs to us" and warning against surveillance through devices such as locks and cameras. He framed the issue as both one of consumer protection and constitutional privacy, arguing for rules that would limit automated decision-making and preserve human judgment.
