PURPOSE:
  • To examine the potential role for the government and the private sector in addressing challenges presented by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
  • To consider the merits and costs of the government role in potential solutions to challenges including bias, ethics, global competitiveness, privacy and transparency.
BACKGROUND:
  • On February 14, 2018, the Information Technology Subcommittee held the first hearing of a three-part series. During this hearing, the Subcommittee heard from four experts from the private sector and academia.
  • On March 7, 2018, the Subcommittee held the second hearing, which featured government witnesses to discuss how their agencies are engaging with AI through research, procurement and applications.
  • Our three-part series has identified several potential challenges for industries affected by the widespread adoption of AI technology, focusing on one central question: what is the appropriate role of the government related to these challenges and opportunities?
