Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact
Project Expert
About the Project
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most disruptive forces in geoeconomics and geopolitics. Its rise to prominence began with twin breakthroughs in 2012 and 2013: the successful use of convolutional neural networks for image recognition, and the invention of deep reinforcement learning systems that can master tasks like playing Atari. The Project on Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact intends to explain how AI works, what it may do, the companies and people behind it, and the implications of this new technology for labor markets, productivity, military competition, medical innovation, energy development, and public safety. It will do so through a forthcoming book, as well as related publications and meetings.
Events
After decades of seeming like another sci-fi catchphrase, artificial intelligence (AI) is having its moment. Some experts predict that AI will usher in an era of boundless productivity and techno-utopia; others see a new realm of great-power competition and the end of humanity. Nearly all agree that AI will change the world. But will it be for the better?
The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought lawmakers and industry leaders to the same conclusion: regulation is necessary to ensure the technology changes the world for the better. The similarities could end there, as governments and industry clash on what those laws should do, and different governments take increasingly divergent approaches. What are the stakes of the debate over AI regulation?
