U.S. technology companies that build artificial intelligence software for analyzing satellite imagery will face new restrictions on exporting their products to China and elsewhere. The Commerce Department said new export rules take effect Monday that target emerging technology that could give the U.S. a significant military or intelligence advantage. A special license would be required to sell software outside the U.S. that can automatically scan aerial images to identify objects of interest, such as vehicles or houses. The rules could affect a growing sector of the tech industry using algorithms to analyze satellite images of crops, trade patterns and other changes affecting the economy or environment. The new export rules are the result of Congress passing a law in 2018 that updated national security-related export controls to protect "emerging and foundational" technology that could end up in the hands of foreign governments.

One video shows Barack Obama using an obscenity to refer to U.S. President Donald Trump. Another features a different former president, Richard Nixon, performing a comedy routine. But neither video is real: The first was created by filmmaker Jordan Peele, the second by Jigsaw, a technology incubator within Alphabet, Inc. Both are examples of deepfakes, videos or audios that use artificial intelligence to make someone appear to do or say something they didn't. The technology is a few years old and getting better.

Business and IT leaders are realizing that artificial intelligence should be implemented carefully to avoid unwanted results. In the race to implement AI over the past several years, most organizations have not addressed risk management adequately, and in some cases, the oversight has resulted in headline news that the company could have avoided if it had exercised more care. People are paying attention to those headlines and taking them to heart. AI has moved from the initial hype phase, in which proponents tend to focus only on the positive aspects, to what Gartner calls the "trough of disillusionment" or Geoffrey Moore called "the chasm" in which the drawbacks of the technology become too apparent to ignore and cause organizations to proceed with greater caution. Bias is AI's Achille's heel, and it's been the 800-pound gorilla in the room waiting to be recognized by people other than data scientists.

For the past few years, we've shared predictions each December on what we believe will be the top ten technology policy issues for the year ahead. As this year draws to a close, we are looking out a bit further. It gives us all an opportunity to reflect upon the past ten years and consider what the 2020s may bring. As we concluded in our book, Tools and Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age, "Technology innovation is not going to slow down. The work to manage it needs to speed up." Digital technology has gone longer with less regulation than virtually any major technology before it. This dynamic is no longer sustainable, and the tech sector will need to step up and exercise more responsibility while governments catch up by modernizing tech policies. In short, the 2020s will bring sweeping regulatory changes to the world of technology. Tech is at a crossroads, and to consider why, it helps to start with the changes in technology itself. The 2010s saw four trends intersect, collectively transforming how we work, live and learn. Continuing advances in computational power made more ambitious technical scenarios possible both for devices and servers, while cloud computing made these advances more accessible to the world. Like the invention of the personal computer itself, cloud computing was as important economically as it was technically. The cloud allows organizations of any size to tap into massive computing and storage capacity on demand, paying for the computing they need without the outlay of capital expenses. More powerful computers and cloud economics combined to create the third trend, the explosion of digital data.

There has been good and bad news of AI in the year 2019. Of course, Bad News always get preference and catches people's minds. Some of the popular bad news in AI has been related to Fake news Generation, Creating Porn fakes from Social Media images, Autonomous Vehicle killing a pedestrian, AI systems attacking a production facility, Data biases creating problems in AI applications. In the good news we have seen innovative Healthcare related applications being deployed in Hospitals, AI tools helping specially abled people, Robots being used in increasing set of domains, AI assistants and smart devices guiding people in day to day queries and chores. The speed of evolution, adoption and research in AI is accelerating.

Gordon Chang, author of'The Coming Collapse of China,' offers a readout for the new year. Beginning Monday, technology companies in the U.S. will face new restrictions on exporting some of their more state-of-the-art products to China and elsewhere, according to the Commerce Department. These new export rules -- for companies building artificial intelligence software for analyzing satellite imagery -- are targeting emerging technology that could give the U.S. a significant military or intelligence advantage. A special license would be required to sell software outside the U.S. that could scan aerial images automatically to identify objects of interest, such as vehicles or houses. Elon Musk warns against'advanced AI' and its manipulation of social media.

The US will impose new restrictions on the export of certain AI programs overseas, including to rival China. The ban, which comes into force on Monday, is the first to be applied under a 2018 law known as the Export Control Reform Act or ECRA. This requires the government to examine how it can restrict the export of "emerging" technologies "essential to the national security of the United States" -- including AI. News of the ban was first reported by Reuters. When ECRA was announced in 2018, some in the tech industry feared it would harm the field of artificial intelligence, which benefits greatly from the exchange of research and commercial programs across borders. Although the US is generally considered to be the world leader in AI, China is a strong second place and gaining fast.
