Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs has partnered with Bank of America to start an initiative to study the societal impacts of artificial intelligence, the Kennedy School announced Tuesday. The effort, called the Council on the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, aims to bring together academics with public and private sector professionals to discuss the "legal, moral, and policy implications" of adopting AI technologies. Bank of America will fund the program for its first three years, according to a Kennedy School press release. Geology Professor Daniel P. Schrag, who is the co-director of the Belfer Center's Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program, said the aim of the council will be to "figure out the rules of the road" for AI technologies in the future. Four themes that the Council will cover include "privacy," "rights, justice, and equality," "transparency," as well as "workforce," according to the press release.
