AI researchers trust international, scientific organizations most

Researchers working in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence trust international and scientific organizations the most to shape the development and use of AI in the public interest. But who do they trust the least? Those are some of the results of a new study led by Baobao Zhang, a Klarman postdoctoral fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences. The paper, "Ethics and Governance of Artificial Intelligence: Evidence from a Survey of Machine Learning Researchers," published Aug. 2 in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research. "Both tech companies and governments emphasize that they want to build'trustworthy AI,'" Zhang said.
