Artificial Intelligence is here, today. How can society make the
best use of it?Until recently, "artificial intelligence" sounded
like something out of science fiction. But the technology of
artificial intelligence, AI, is becoming increasingly common, from
self-driving cars to e-commerce algorithms that seem to know what
you want to buy before you do. Throughout the economy and many
aspects of daily life, artificial intelligence has become the
transformative technology of our time. Despite its current and
potential benefits, AI is little understood by the larger public
and widely feared. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has
given rise to concerns that hidden technology will create a
dystopian world of increased income inequality, a total lack of
privacy, and perhaps a broad threat to humanity itself. In their
compelling and readable book, two experts at Brookings discuss both
the opportunities and risks posed by artificial intelligence and
how near-term policy decisions could determine whether the
technology leads to utopia or dystopia. Drawing on in-depth studies
of major uses of AI, the authors detail how the technology actually
works. They outline a policy and governance blueprint for gaining
the benefits of artificial intelligence while minimizing its
potential downsides. The book offers major recommendations for
actions that governments, businesses, and individuals can take to
promote trustworthy and responsible artificial intelligence. Their
recommendations include: creation of ethical principles,
strengthening government oversight, defining corporate culpability,
establishment of advisory boards at federal agencies, using
third-party audits to reduce biases inherent in algorithms,
tightening personal privacy requirements, using insurance to
mitigate exposure to AI risks, broadening decision-making about AI
uses and procedures, penalizing malicious uses of new technologies,
and taking pro-active steps to address how artificial intelligence
affects the workforce. Turning Point is essential reading for
anyone concerned about how artificial intelligence works and what
can be done to ensure its benefits outweigh its harm.
