Steering AI for the Public Good: A Dialogue for the Future | Institute for Advanced Study

Recent, rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI) research and deployment have demonstrated technology’s potential to drastically transform and potentially improve the lives of many people across the world. From unlocking millions of hours’ worth of biological research in a fraction of the time to reducing the amount of energy used by industrial power plants, the use of AI could power the change needed to combat some of the most pressing issues of our time. But robust, adaptive strategies, including practices and policies, are needed to ensure that AI technology will benefit all of humanity. Strategies to ensure that AI tools are developed and used responsibly must be a fundamental part of the development process rather than an afterthought.
