SXSW 2017
AI and the Government
Breakthroughs in the emerging technology of artificial intelligence (AI) research have already made computers “smarter” and hold tremendous promise in advancing fields ranging from education, to healthcare, and to transportation. With the potential for profound social, economic, and legal impact, AI presents new, unique policy challenges beyond addressing the innovation itself. It is thus imperative for government to consider how best to integrate AI into both the public and private sectors. In this session, experts explore the relationship between government and AI, seeking a variety of opinions in navigating AI’s uncharted territory.
