Singapore's Governing Framework for Artificial Intelligence (Paid Post by IMDA from NYTimes.com)
There's no escaping A.I., which continues to revolutionize every aspect of our lives -- from microtargeted ads to GPS-based wayfinding apps to highly personalized services. These innovations ride on waves of user information and data of unprecedented volume, leading to a sense of urgency among governments worldwide to figure out how to navigate these uncharted waters. According to Urs Gasser, executive director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, there are three archetypal strategies. The U.S.'s laissez-faire approach prioritizes innovation, and lawmakers intervene only when things go wrong. In the European Union, the precautionary principle -- which puts citizen protection, ethics and responsible management before tech innovation -- underpins the General Data Protection Regulation, which was launched in May 2018. Meanwhile, China is mostly concerned about the ways in which A.I. might affect existing social, political and economic relationships.
