Videos from the September 12th event, “Artificial Intelligence: The Economic and Policy Implications” are now available on the TPI website.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming part of the economy in ways we could only imagine a decade ago. From self-driving cars to robots, the rapid growth of AI creates tremendous potential opportunities to increase productivity and economic growth. Panelists at the event discussed how computer scientists design and implement AI as well as how it is being incorporated into diverse fields and applications, including the current FCC spectrum auction, smart cities and the digital humanities. Participants also explored the moral and policy implications of incorporating AI into these activities and what the future could look like for artificial intelligence.
