    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.

    Dirección de Prensa Declaración de S.E. la Presidenta de la República, Michelle Bachelet Jeria, en conjunto con Presidente de la República Argentina, Mauricio Macri Buenos Aires, 16 de diciembre de 2016 Buenas tardes: Yo quisiera agradecer al Presidente Mauricio Macri, por la invitación a esta hermosa Quinta de Olivos, para esta VIII Reunión Binacional de Ministros y también VI Reunión de Intendentes y Gobernadores de la frontera común, y que son todos importantes mecanismos de coordinación y de integración bilateral. Yo he venido casi con la totalidad de mi gabinete, efectivamente, junto a los intendentes regionales -que son equivalentes a los gobernadores argentinos- para sostener reuniones que nos permitan, justamente, continuar profundizando la amistad y la integración entre nuestros pueblos, entre territorios aledaños. Y quiero destacar que nunca antes una reunión binacional de este tipo, había convocado tantas autoridades. Con el Presidente Macri -tal como él lo ha señalado- hemos tratado temas fundamentales para nuestra integración, como la facilitación fronteriza, donde nos alegramos por haber iniciado la marcha blanca del Sistema de Control Migratorio Simplificado en los Pasos de Integración Austral y Sistema Cristo Redentor que, como sabemos, son muy importantes del punto de vista de los flujos de turistas, del comercio bilateral y también de la conexión bioceánica. 1 Dirección de Prensa Nuestros ministros y los intendentes han podido avanzar también en otro tema que es clave, cuando estamos hablando de integración, que es la conectividad física. El Presidente Macri y yo vemos con mucha satisfacción los avances en el proyecto Túnel Internacional Paso de Aguas Negras, que va a permitir unir la Región de Coquimbo, en Chile, con la provincia de San Juan, en la Argentina.

  • Public Response to RFI on AI
    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.
