Article - What is Artificial Intelligence?

AI is a powerful force and a reality for everybody. It improves our healthcare, shopping and travel experiences and is starting to make inroads into the workplace and government. With that, comes a responsibility to make sure AI is a force for good, and that its tremendous power does not create a new chasm in our society. Many areas of public policy, from education and the economic safety net, to defense, environmental preservation, and criminal justice, will see new opportunities and new challenges driven by the continued progress of AI. Government must continue to build its capacity to understand and adapt to these changes.
