White House Preparing For The Coming Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the way we live our lives, from driving our own cars, to cooking, to shopping…they may even take over our jobs (indeed, they already are). Since it is so transformative, of course, it comes with a lot of risks. And it seems that the White House sees the dynamism that A.I. will most likely bring to the table. The official blog of the White House just announced that the U.S. government wants to implement artificial intelligence to improve its services and help in the daily lives of the country's citizens, but before they can do that, they need to understand the risks that it poses. In short, they want to expand artificial intelligence for wider applications--such as in medicine, education, industrial optimization, transportation, and overall safety.
