White House Launches AI.gov — from nextgov.com by Brandi Vincent
Excerpt:
All the federal government’s initiatives and resources around artificial intelligence can now be accessed on one dedicated website, AI.gov, which the White House launched today.
“It’s a real hub for all the AI projects being done across the agencies,” Michael Kratsios, the U.S. deputy chief technology officer within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, told attendees of The Economist’s artificial intelligence event in Washington.
The “third, and probably the most important” priority is a sharp focus on supporting the American worker. He said the government needs to address the impacts that the rise of automation and artificial intelligence will have on the economy and workforce. “We need to make sure that the American worker is prepared for the jobs of the future,” he said. “And we need to make sure [workers] are reskilled and retrained for [evolving jobs] and that there’s a pipeline of AI talent that continues to be the fuel for the next great discoveries.”
