Support RAND Make a tax-deductible charitable contribution at www.rand.org/giving/contribute www.rand.org Preface Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML—hereafter referred to as AI/ML) are being applied more and more widely across the globe, affecting how individuals work, pursue health, and protect their communities. These changes have implications for society, the econ- omy, and data science. The experiences of the United States and Japan, two of the world’s wealthiest and most technologically advanced liberal democracies, represent important leading indicators of how AI/ML affect human society now and will continue to do so. U.S. and Japa- nese experiences also carry lessons for each other about how the two sides of the Pacific might think about the policy impacts that AI/ML technologies can have and what policies might be necessary to effectively and safely employ learning algorithms. How are these two advanced countries thinking about and employing AI? What can they learn from each other’s experi- ences and approaches? And are there areas for cooperation that might be pursued? Given the importance of understanding the implications of AI/ML, the RAND Corpora- tion convened a pair of public conferences at in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and New Orleans, Louisiana, that brought together leading U.S. and Japanese experts on work, health, and data security (Conference I), and on international affairs, disaster response, and disaster modeling (Conference II) to exchange views on AI/ML technologies. At the first conference, on October 10, 2019, noted AI ethicist David Danks (L.L. Thurstone Professor of Philosophy and Psychol- ogy and Head of the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University) gave a keynote speech in which he discussed decisionmaking and biases in AI and the concerns that these issues raise as they are employed on a widening scale. At the second conference, on February 18, 2020, Charles Sutcliffe (Chief Resilience Officer, Governor’s Office of Coastal Activities) explained the challenges that Louisiana faces in protecting and preserving coastal wetlands and how the state employs a variety of forecasting and modeling technologies in an attempt to prevent erosion and minimize damaging weather events in an era of accelerating global warming and climate change. These conference proceedings capture insights from the two conferences, recount some of the exchanges among the participants at those sessions, and are built around the papers that the conference presenters submitted after the conferences concluded. The views articulated and expressed herein, including those about any technology or commercial product, are those of the participants and should not be construed as an endorsement by RAND or its research sponsors. This effort was sponsored by the Government of Japan and conducted in the Community Health and Environmental Policy Program within RAND’s Social and Economic Well-Being Division. RAND Social and Economic Well-Being is a division of the RAND Corporation that seeks to actively improve the health and social and economic well-being of populations and communities throughout the world. The Community Health and Environmental Policy Program focuses on such topics as infrastructure, science and technology, community design, iii iv United States–Japan Research Exchange on Artificial Intelligence community health promotion, migration and population dynamics, transportation, energy, and climate and the environment, as well as other policy concerns that are influenced by the natural and built environment, technology, and community organizations and institutions that affect well-being.

You’re living through a once-in-a-generation technology shift—the era of artificial intelligence, or AI. Like previous fundamental shifts such as electricity, the computer, or the Internet, AI will change everything. Skeptical about such big claims? I don’t blame you. Over the past few decades we’ve been bombarded by an endless parade of new technologies promising to “disrupt” everything and solve all our problems.

  • Aistrom – a Roadmap for Developing a Successful AI Strategy Arxiv
    aiSTROM { A roadmap for developing a successful AI strategy Dorien Herremans1 1Singapore University of Technology and Design June 2021 A total of 34% of AI research and development projects fails or are abandoned, accord- ing to a recent survey by Rackspace Technology of 1,870 companies (Rackspace Technol- ogy, 2021). We propose a new strategic framework, aiSTROM, that empowers managers to create a successful AI strategy based on a thorough literature review. This provides a unique and integrated approach that guides managers and lead developers through the var- ious challenges in the implementation process. In the aiSTROM framework, we start by identifying the top n potential projects (typically 3-5). For each of those, seven areas of focus are thoroughly analysed. These areas include creating a data strategy that takes into account unique cross-departmental machine learning data requirements, security, and legal requirements. aiSTROM then guides managers to think about how to put together an inter- disciplinary artificial intelligence (AI) implementation team given the scarcity of AI talent. Once an AI team strategy has been established, it needs to be positioned within the organi- zation, either cross-departmental or as a separate division. Other considerations include AI as a service (AIaas), or outsourcing development. Looking at new technologies, we have to consider challenges such as bias, legality of black-box-models, and keeping humans in the loop. Next, like any project, we need value-based key performance indicators (KPIs) to track and validate the progress. Depending on the company’s risk-strategy, a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) can help further classify the shortlisted projects.

  • Deep Reinforcement Learning
    DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING Yuxi Li ([email protected]) ABSTRACT We discuss deep reinforcement learning in an overview style. We draw a big pic- ture, filled with details. We discuss six core elements, six important mechanisms, and twelve applications, focusing on contemporary work, and in historical con- texts. We start with background of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning (RL), with resources. Next we discuss RL core elements, including value function, policy, reward, model, exploration vs. exploitation, and representation. Then we discuss important mechanisms for RL, including attention and memory, unsupervised learning, hierarchical RL, multi- agent RL, relational RL, and learning to learn. After that, we discuss RL appli- cations, including games, robotics, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, finance, business management, healthcare, education, energy, transporta- tion, computer systems, and, science, engineering, and art. Finally we summarize briefly, discuss challenges and opportunities, and close with an epilogue. 1 Keywords: deep reinforcement learning, deep RL, algorithm, architecture, ap- plication, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, value function, policy, reward, model, exploration vs. exploitation, representation, attention, memory, unsupervised learning, hierarchical RL, multi- agent RL, relational RL, learning to learn, games, robotics, computer vision, nat- ural language processing, finance, business management, healthcare, education, energy, transportation, computer systems, science, engineering, art arXiv:1810.06339v1 [cs.LG] 15 Oct 2018 1Work in progress.
