In this report, Darrell West and John Allen discuss AI&#8217;s application across a variety of sectors, address issues in its development, and offer recommendations for getting the most out of AI while still protecting important human values.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I.

Recently, California changed the law that required driverless cars to have a safety driver. Now that AI is getting better and able to work more independently, what&#8217;s next?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/google-cofounder-sergey-brin-warns-of-ais-dark-side\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Google Cofounder Sergey Brin Warns of AI&#8217;s Dark Side<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from wired.com by Tom Simonite<\/p>\n<p><em>Excerpt <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When Google was founded in 1998, Brin writes, the machine learning technique known as artificial neural networks, invented in the 1940s and loosely inspired by studies of the brain, was \u201ca forgotten footnote in computer science.\u201d Today the method is the engine of the recent surge in excitement and investment around artificial intelligence. The letter unspools a partial list of where Alphabet uses neural networks, for tasks such as enabling self-driving cars to recognize objects, translating languages, adding captions to YouTube videos, diagnosing eye disease, and even creating better neural networks.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nAs you might expect, Brin expects Alphabet and others to find more uses for AI. But he also acknowledges that the technology brings possible downsides. <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>\u201cSuch powerful tools also bring with them new questions and responsibilities,\u201d<\/strong><\/span> he writes. AI tools might change the nature and number of jobs, or be used to manipulate people, Brin says\u2014a line that may prompt readers to think of concerns around political manipulation on Facebook. Safety worries range from \u201cfears of sci-fi style sentience to the more near-term questions such as validating the performance of self-driving cars,\u201d Brin writes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u201cThe new spring in artificial intelligence is the most significant development in computing in my lifetime,\u201d Brin writes\u2014no small statement from a man whose company has already wrought great changes in how people and businesses use computers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Law2020: Artificial Intelligence and the Legal Profession &#8212; from abovethelaw.com by David Lat and Brian Dalton What do AI, machine learning, and other cutting-edge technologies mean for lawyers and the legal world?
