President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order directing federal agencies to prioritize research and development in artificial intelligence. The plan, called the American AI Initiative, comes after China and other countries have pledged big investments to advance and apply AI technology in fields ranging from warfighting to health care. The White House plan doesn't include any funding details. The administration says it's up to Congress to appropriate money. The order directs federal agencies to make government data and computing resources more available to artificial intelligence experts while maintaining security and confidentiality.

Continued American leadership in Artificial Intelligence is of paramount importance to maintaining the economic and national security of the United States. In his 2019 State of the Union address, President Trump stressed the importance of investing in the cutting-edge Industries of the Future. Emerging technologies are driving the creation of the Industries of the Future, and none more so than artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies are transforming nearly every area of our lives, from transportation to healthcare to education to security. Even now at the earliest stages of commercializing these technologies, we have seen the power and potential of AI to support workers, diagnose diseases, and improve our national security.

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Monday announcing the'American AI Initiative.' The order will ask federal government agencies to dedicate more resources and investment into research, promotion and training on artificial intelligence (AI), a senior administration official said. Under the American AI Initiative, the administration will direct agencies to prioritize AI investments in research and development, increase access to federal data and models for that research and prepare workers to adapt to the era of AI.

Russia is planning to disconnect itself from the internet as part of a planned experiment designed to protect the country from state-backed cyber attacks. Internet service providers in the country are working with the Russian government in preparation for the test, which comes in response to a proposed new law that will see all internet traffic pass through Russian servers. When it is passed, the Digital Economy National Program legislation requires the local internet, known as the Runet, to pass through exchange points managed by Russia's telecommunications regulator Roskomnazor. The test will see the Runet separated from the wider internet for a short period of time at some point before 1 April, according to local news agency RosBiznesKonsalting (RBK). Once in force, the Digital Economy National Program will simultaneously protect Russia in the event of cyber war, while also filtering internet traffic to the country in a similar way to the'Great Firewall of China'.

Activists claim the new rules – particularly Article 11 and Article 13 – could undermine central parts of the internet. Google and its subsidiary YouTube have argued that the new rules could prevent web users from being able to search and share content as freely as current laws allow.

In 1964, concerns about increasing automation led the federal government to establish the National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress. The commission was tasked with studying the impact of technological and economic change. Even more than half a century ago, leaders foresaw a world where technology could lead to a new era of economic prosperity--but only if we met the challenge head on. Michael Kratsios is the Deputy Assistant to the President for Technology Policy at The White House. He advises the President on a broad range of technology policy issues, including the development of emerging technologies in the United States.

Cybersecurity is a manpower constrained market – therefore, the opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI) automation are vast. Frequently, AI is used to make certain defensive aspects of cyber security more wide-reaching and effective. Combating spam and detecting malware are prime examples. On the opposite side, there are many incentives to use AI when attempting to attack vulnerable systems belonging to others. These incentives include the speed of attack, low costs and difficulties attracting skilled staff in an already constrained environment.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory has partnered with Technica to develop a system that would use artificial intelligence algorithms to collect data from multiple devices and allow soldiers to exchange information in areas where connectivity is limited, Nextgov reported Friday. "We want to try to put deep learning and AI into the hands of the soldier," Brendon Unland, senior technology architect at Technica, told Nextgov in an interview. ARL awarded the company a $1M research and development contract in mid-January to build a "fog computing" platform designed to support data processing even at locations without network access or in the cloud. The system, called SmartFog, would use AI or machine learning to analyze incoming data streams in real-time and aid soldiers in decisionmaking. Unland added the company will develop algorithms that could be trained to detect vehicle maintenance problems, network attacks or other anomalies.
