Here’s how the US needs to prepare for the age of artificial intelligence

Posted by in categories: government, robotics/AI

Above all, the government needs to understand what AI is and what it will do. Since artificial intelligence is such a complex and fast-moving field, it is especially important for experts to be brought in to brief policymakers and the administration.
