Artificial Intelligence: Emerging Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications
GAO (2017) Artificial Intelligence: Emerging Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications, Highlights of Report No. GAO-18-142SP, Mar 2018
The Comptroller General convened the Forum on AI to consider the policy and research implications of AI’s use in 4 areas with the potential to significantly affect daily life—cybersecurity, automated vehicles, criminal justice, and financial services. The forum highlighted the fact that AI will have far-reaching effects on society—even if AI capabilities stopped advancing today. We looked at the prospects for AI in the near future, and identified areas where changes in policy and research may be needed.
