Artificial Intelligence Policy Challenges

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming increasingly integrated into our economy and society. This integration creates a range of challenges policymakers will have to address. Probably the most-discussed question is the effect AI might have on the composition of the labor market and how we should react. Some advocate slowing or taxing shifts to automation, but most accept the productivity-enhancing aspect of these advances and worry instead about how to compensate workers who end up on the losing side of the changes.
