    A Century Long Commitment to Assessing Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Society1 Barbara J. Grosz, Harvard University, Inaugural Chair of the AI100 Standing Committee Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin, Chair of the Inaugural AI100 Study Panel The Stanford One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence, a project that launched in December 2014, is designed to be a century-long periodic assessment of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its influences on people, their communities, and society. Colloquially referred to as "AI100", the project issued its first report in September 2016. A Standing Committee works with the Stanford Faculty Director of AI100 in overseeing the project and designing its activities. A little more than two years after the first report appeared, we reflect on the decisions made in shaping it, the process that produced it, its major conclusions, and reactions subsequent to its release. The inaugural AI100 report [4], which is titled “Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030,” examines eight domains of human activity in which AI technologies are already starting to affect urban life. In scope, it encompasses domains with emerging products enabled by AI methods and ones raising concerns about technological impact generated by potential AI-enabled systems. The Study Panel members who authored the report and the AI100 Standing Committee, which is the body that directs the AI100 project, intend for it to act as a catalyst, spurring conversations on how we as a society might shape and share the potentially powerful technologies that AI could enable. In addition to influencing researchers and guiding decisions in industry and governments, the report aims to provide the general public with a scientifically and technologically accurate portrayal of the current state of AI and its potential.

    STATEMENT OF: ERIC HORVITZ TECHNICAL FELLOW AND DIRECTOR MICROSOFT RESEARCH—REDMOND LAB MICROSOFT CORPORATION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SPACE, SCIENCE, AND COMPETITIVENESS UNITED STATES SENATE HEARING ON THE DAWN OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NOVEMBER 30, 2016 “Reflections on the Status and Future of Artificial Intelligence” NOVEMBER 30, 2016 1 Chairman Cruz, Ranking Member Peters, and Members of the Subcommittee, my name is Eric Horvitz, and I am a Technical Fellow and Director of Microsoft’s Research Lab in Redmond, Washington. While I am also serving as Co-Chair of a new organization, the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, I am speaking today in my role at Microsoft. We appreciate being asked to testify about AI and are committed to working collaboratively with you and other policymakers so that the potential of AI to benefit our country, and to people and society more broadly can be fully realized. With my testimony, I will first offer a historical perspective of AI, a definition of AI and discuss the inflection point the discipline is currently facing. Second, I will highlight key opportunities using examples in the healthcare and transportation industries. Third, I will identify the important research direction many are taking with AI. Next, I will attempt to identify some of the challenges related to AI and offer my thoughts on how best to address them. Finally, I will offer several recommendations. What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a set of computer science disciplines aimed at the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and the embodiment of these principles in machines that can deliver value to people and society.

    ISCB's Initial Reaction to the New England Journal of Medicine

    MESSAGE FROM ISCB ISCB’s Initial Reaction to The New England Journal of Medicine Editorial on Data Sharing Bonnie Berger, Terry Gaasterland, Thomas Lengauer, Christine Orengo, Bruno Gaeta, Scott Markel, Alfonso Valencia* International Society for Computational Biology, Inc. (ISCB) * [email protected] The recent editorial by Drs. Longo and Drazen in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) [1] has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. As Executive Officers of the International Society of Computational Biology, Inc. (ISCB), we express our deep concern about the restric- tive and potentially damaging opinions voiced in this editorial, and while ISCB works to write a detailed response, we felt it necessary to promptly address the editorial with this reaction. While some of the concerns voiced by the authors of the editorial are worth considering, large parts of the statement purport an obsolete view of hegemony over data that is neither in line with today’s spirit of open access nor furthering an atmosphere in which the potential of data can be fully realized. ISCB acknowledges that the additional comment on the editorial [2] eases some of the polemics, but unfortunately it does so without addressing some of the core issues. We still feel, however, that we need to contrast the opinion voiced in the editorial with what we consider the axioms of our scientific society, statements that lead into a fruitful future of data-driven science: • Data produced with public money should be public in benefit of the science and society • Restrictions to the use of public data hamper science and slow progress OPEN ACCESS • Open data is the best way to combat fraud and misinterpretations Citation: Berger B, Gaasterland T, Lengauer T, Orengo C, Gaeta B, Markel S, et al.
