A massive AI partnership is tapping civil rights and economic experts to keep AI safe<\/strong><\/a> — from qz.com by Dave Gershgorn<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n

When the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society was announced in September<\/a>, it was with the stated goal of educating the public on artificial intelligence, studying AI\u2019s potential impact on the world, and establishing industry best practices. Now, how those goals will actually be achieved is becoming clearer.<\/p>\n

This week, the Partnership brought on new members that include representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union, the MacArthur Foundation, OpenAI, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Arizona State University, and the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n

The organizations themselves are not officially affiliated yet\u2014that process is still underway\u2014but the Partnership\u2019s board selected these candidates based on their expertise in civil rights, economics, and open research, according to interim co-chair Eric Horvitz, who is also director of Microsoft Research. The Partnership also added Apple as a \u201cfounding member,\u201d putting the tech giant in good company: Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and Facebook are already on board.<\/p>\n

Building Public Policy To Address Artificial Intelligence\u2019s Impact<\/strong><\/a> — from blogs.wsj.com by Irving Wladawsky-Berger<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence may be at a tipping point, but it\u2019s not immune to backlash from users in the event of system mistakes or a failure to meet heightened expectations.\u00a0As AI\u00a0becomes increasingly\u00a0used for more critical tasks, care needs to be taken by proponents to avoid\u00a0unfulfilled promises as well as efforts that appear to discriminate against certain segments of society.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Stanford University launched <\/a>the One Hundred Year Study of AI<\/a>\u00a0to address \u201chow the effects of artificial intelligence will ripple through every aspect of how people work, live and play.\u201d One of its key missions is to convene a Study Panel of experts every five years to assess the then current state of the field, as well as to explore both the technical advances and societal challenges over the next 10 to 15 years.<\/p>\n

The first such Study Panel recently published Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030<\/a>, a report that examined the likely impact of AI on a typical North American city by the year 2030.<\/p>\n
