Artificial Intelligence and Global Security Initiative

We are poised at the beginning of a new industrial revolution, this one powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The past several years have seen rapid advances in AI technology, driven in large part by deep neural networks. Machines have bested humans in a variety of games, including chess, Jeopardy, Go, and poker, and are now being applied to help solve a wide variety of practical problems, such as health care, finance, and transportation. AI is already having a significant impact on national security. Automation is used heavily in cyber security and defense applications.
