    White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Request for Information on the Future of Artificial Intelligence Public Responses September 1, 2016 Respondent 1 Chris Nicholson, Skymind Inc. This submission will address topics 1, 2, 4 and 10 in the OSTP’s RFI: • the legal and governance implications of AI • the use of AI for public good • the social and economic implications of AI • the role of “market-shaping” approaches Governance, anomaly detection and urban systems The fundamental task in the governance of urban systems is to keep them running; that is, to maintain the fluid movement of people, goods, vehicles and information throughout the system, without which it ceases to function. Breakdowns in the functioning of these systems and their constituent parts are therefore of great interest, whether it be their energy, transport, security or information infrastructures. Those breakdowns may result from deteriorations in the physical plant, sudden and unanticipated overloads, natural disasters or adversarial behavior. In many cases, municipal governments possess historical data about those breakdowns and the events that precede them, in the form of activity and sensor logs, video, and internal or public communications. Where they don’t possess such data already, it can be gathered. Such datasets are a tremendous help when applying learning algorithms to predict breakdowns and system failures. With enough lead time, those predictions make pre- emptive action possible, action that would cost cities much less than recovery efforts in the wake of a disaster. Our choice is between an ounce of prevention or a pound of cure. Even in cases where we don’t have data covering past breakdowns, algorithms exist to identify anomalies in the data we begin gathering now.
