Artificial Intelligence: Ethics, Congress, Data And The Tech

Artificial intelligence sparks images of thinking robots doing things without human intervention. While that is part of its promise, reality is much more complex. Join me as I explore the intricacies of ethics, technology, policy and politics with three experts on this somewhat arcane but strategically crucial subject. This interview offers something close to a master class in AI, exploring why the US is not likely to use autonomous robots to kill the enemy, why Congress must come to grips with the many challenges AI raises, how the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the Intelligence Community are grappling with the unique issues of classification, fast access to data and the need for global access across the force, how companies like Booz Allen Hamilton are managing the data they need to train AIs and much more. The one thing Boris Johnson and his DUDE -- Deliver, Unite, Defeat, Energize -- partisans have in common with their opponents is that they all want to see a quick end to a process that has paralyzed the debate about Europe's future and created a climate of instability which only NATO's foes can find suitable.
