Experts assert that all nations should have a "Minister of AI"

Today, world leaders gathered in a secretive meeting on the global governance of artificial intelligence. It was attended by more than 50 of the world's leading experts in AI. From IBM to Facebook and from Amazon to the U.N., representatives from all sectors and levels of government convened to map the future of AI. Futurism was fortunate enough to be there for the event. The goal of the roundtable, organized by the AI Initiative from the Future Society at Harvard Kennedy's School of Government and H.E. Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, was to address the challenges and opportunities AI bring and develop the strategies, guidance, and governance to help safely advance its evolution.
