There is a saying in education that you treasure what you measure. Going by the standardized tests that dominate schools in many countries around the world, we're teaching children that we value only a very narrow definition of intelligence--the ability to solve word problems about train times, or identify the purpose of a World War I treaty on a multiple-choice test. The truth is human intelligence is vast and complex. And in an age when artificial intelligence is capable of nailing IQ tests and mastering knowledge-based curricula, humans may be setting ourselves up to be outshone by technology. "I think we are in danger of dumbing ourselves down," says Rose Luckin, a professor of learning-centered design at University College London who has been studying artificial intelligence and learning for more than 25 years.

According to a Forrester report, robots will eliminate 6 percent of all jobs in the U.S. by 2021. McKinsey's assessment is even more expansive -- they believe that by 2030 one-third of American jobs could become automated. This, however, doesn't mean that life will soon be like "The Jetsons." As technological developments have done in the past, the next generation of robots utilizing artificial intelligence and automation to streamline processes currently handled with the assistance of human workers will significantly alter the job market. This idea represents a form of disruptive innovation, a term that refers to when an emerging technology can utilize fewer resources, thus competing better against those without it.

My name is Kris Coratti. Thank you for joining us on this very rainy morning. I'm glad you all made it out. We are going to have a fascinating series of discussion this morning on artificial intelligence. This is the latest in our ongoing event series that we call "Transformers." And our speakers this morning are going to explore the regulatory questions around this technology. They going to look at how AI is reshaping the way we live and work. And they're going to discuss how to make sure this technology is used responsibly in the future. Before we begin, I just want to quickly thank our presenting sponsor for this even, Software.org, And so now I'd like to go ahead and welcome to the stage The Washington Post's Tony Romm and Senators Maria Cantwell and Todd Young. And for those who don't know, Senator Cantwell is a Democrat from Washington State. Both are members of a Senate commerce committee which touches on artificial intelligence and many tech issues that we'll talk about today.

The pace at which companies are investing in artificial intelligence (AI) continues to gain momentum and the financial sector is not immune to this trend. According to research by global management consultancy Accenture, banks that invest in AI and human-machine collaboration tools could boost their revenue by over a third (34 per cent) by 2022. AI is considered one of the most important disruptive technologies for today's banks, with a recent PwC survey revealing that 72 per cent of senior management see AI and machine learning (ML) as key sources of competitive advantage. The survey also highlighted that 52 per cent of companies in the financial services sector are already making substantial commitments to AI, with 66 per cent projecting significant investments by 2020. The finance sector has been using AI in very specific areas for some time, but we're now seeing a rapid growth in take-up due to increasing market competition, the need to reduce overheads and the benefits of harnessing increasing volumes of data. "Banks are experiencing massive competitive pressure from multiple organizations that don't carry the same technical debt in the form of legacy software," highlights Daniel Kroening, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.

The average British child spends just seven hours a week outside, but more than than twice that amount of time playing video games. That's according to a shocking new survey, which found that 40 per cent of parents have to force their children to leave the house in order to spend time outdoors. Researchers said the rise of video games like survival shooter Fortnite means children are increasingly choosing to spend their free time cooped-up inside. Experts have previously warned that active play is essential to the development and long-term health of children, helping them to fend off the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease in adulthood. The average child spends just seven hours a week outside, but more than than twice that amount playing video games.

LONDON, UK – Today, mental health conditions are endemic. There is widespread consensus that society is facing an unprecedented rise in mental health conditions. Mental health is frequently described as being in'crisis'; something that fiscally strained health services simply do not have the resources to either treat or prevent. You don't have to look far to find statistical evidence in support of this. Today, over 40 per centof all GP appointments in the UK concern patients' mental health, while the British NHS has seen a sharp rise in patients under the age of 19seeking treatment from mental health services.

It was not the football World Cup, but the defeat was not unlike Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi losing on the same day. An artificial intelligence system recorded a 2-0 victory against elite physicians on 30 June 2018 in two rounds of a competition in Beijing to diagnose brain tumours and predict the expansion of brain hematomas, or bruises. BioMind, developed by researchers from the AI Research Centre for Neurological Disorders and Capital Medical University, made correct diagnoses in 87 per cent of 225 cases in about 15 minutes. A team of 15 doctors from top hospitals across China achieved 66 per cent accuracy in 30 minutes. The AI system also made correct predictions in 83 per cent of brain hematoma expansion cases, outperforming the physicians, who had only 63 per cent accuracy.

Russian hackers might have access to US electric utilities and could use them to cause blackouts across the country, according to new warnings. The group – who worked for a Russian state-sponsored group known as Dragonfly or Energetic Bear – gained access to networks last year and the campaign is probably continuing, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The hackers have already claimed "hundreds of victims", according to officials. But much of their most dangerous work might not actually have happened yet – with cyber attacks gaining access to the most critical parts of the US infrastructure and then sitting inside of it. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The solid line in the charts represents the net effect of AI, with the bars showing the displacement and income effects.Graphic via PricewaterhouseCoopers It's impossible to say precisely how artificial intelligence will disrupt the job market, so researchers at PwC have taken a bird's-eye view and pointed to the results of sweeping economic changes. Their prediction, in a new report out Tuesday, is that it will all balance out in the end. More automation in trucks, factories and elsewhere could cost around 7 million existing jobs in the U.K. by 2037. But the rise in robots and machine-learning software will make the country more productive over the next two decades, growing at a 2% annual clip, to put nearly the same number of jobs back in the system: 7.2 million, PwC estimates. To be clear, those new jobs won't involve building robots or coding AI-powered software, which will make up only around 5% of employment, says John Hawksworth, PwC's chief economist.
