We should embrace the tremendous
positive power of these capabilities
for government, industry and research while making sure to understand AI’s limitations and risks.
AI techniques to get new meaning out of that data.
For instance, we can use AI to better understand cyberattacks and intrusion attempts on government networks and use AI-trained imaging to better understand threat conditions. In terms of public safety, AI tools can be trained to recognize the distinctive sound of a gunshot or identify human cries for help. We can also use AI in
combination with simulation to understand how forest fires may evolve and thus save more people and more property.
We should embrace the tremendous positive power of these capabilities for government, industry and research while making sure to understand AI’s limitations and risks. Creating effective policies to ensure fair, responsible application of the technology becomes even more important
now that we have systems that can learn, act and make decisions, even autonomously if we wish. We must be especially careful about how we collect and use the data to train those systems so that we protect against misuse and ensure that we achieve only positive societal impacts.
