Recap: Artificial Intelligence Now #AINow – Microsoft New York

This week, the White House and New York University's Information Law Institute hosted Artificial Intelligence Now, a symposium exploring the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across social and economic systems. We were pleased and honored to have Kate Crawford, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research and Senior Research Fellow, New York University Information Law Institute represent Microsoft as she joined to discuss social inequality, labor, healthcare, and ethics in AI technologies. The symposium focused on the near future (5-10 years) in technology, with input from leaders in technology, industry, academia, and civil society. We've gathered some of the best moments from the symposium -- in tweets -- below: "Sorry, we're not going to be talking about the singularity tonight" says Kate Crawford – focusing on today's real challenges instead #AINow Tech moves so fast and policy moves so slow – there is a mismatch. I want every drop of benefit we can squeeze out" with oversight & protections.
