Where Artificial Intelligence Can Make the Biggest Impact

Advancements in artificial intelligence software in the commercial space have gained traction in recent years. From Watson assisting with diagnoses in doctors' offices to the computer programs running risk analysis for banks making lending decisions, AI has permeated many facets of our lives. However, the federal government's use of AI has received far less attention, despite directly impacting most citizens across the country. The term "artificial intelligence" has been co-opted for a wide array of applications. The definition often includes everything from marginally automated systems to advanced machine learning programs that make decisions independently of a human operator.
