ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

And the Government

Artificial Intelligence

• Defjned as: a program that analyzes the environment and takes actions

that help it achieve its goals. Example: Chess with pre-set algorithm

Machine Learning

• Defjned as: Using statistics to help machines “learn”

Example: Chess, with updating algorithm based on success/failure

• add info on dates for chess

AI and machine learning used on a regular basis

• Enemies in video games
• Google maps – analyzing traffjc speed (by taking locations and

remembering other routes at difgerent times, days, weather, etc).

• Spam fjlters
• Market Analysis
• Behavior Prediction
• Recommending movies/music
• Predicting terrorism

AI Coming Soon

• Self-driving cars
• More advanced robotics
• More advanced market analysis
• More advanced etc.
• More interaction with society

The Government?

• The Self-Drive Act
• Currently legal in California, Florida, Nevada, and Washington, D.C.
• Anti-terrorism

What about regulating AI as a whole?

AI Taking Jobs?

• A study done by National Bureau of Economic Research in March 2017
• Found that each new robot in the local workforce means losing 3 to 5.6 jobs

The Debate on Job Loss

• Will robots take our jobs?
• Will new jobs be created from new advancements in society?
• Is AI difgerent, in that it ultimately has the power to take any job?

Humans Analyzing Society and Government

Health Care

• What will happen if the ACA gets repealed?
• In July 2017, a Harvard sociology professor and team of researchers

estimated there would be roughly 200,000 deaths over the course of the next 10 years.

AI Taking Over Society?

• AI may be able to predict societal trends, economics, and other things

better than humans

• Should AI have a role to play in developing laws?
• Could AI replace our government?

The Debate on Moral Code

• When AI is developed with the intention of analyzing and improving

society, it will need to abide by a moral/ethical code.

• How do you program morality in a robot?
• Measuring health, happiness?
• Utilitarianism?

Who Should Develop AI?

• Government?

Who Should Develop AI?

• A Corporation?

Who Should Develop AI?

• The Citizens?

Should Developing AI Be Banned?

• Pros:
• Less job loss
• No fear of AI taking over the world
• More human interaction

Should Developing AI Be Banned?

• Cons:
• What if AI can help improve the world?
• What if another country/bad group develops it fjrst?

What Can We Do?

• Help with loss of jobs
• Regulate development of AI
• World-wide?
