Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance workforce productivity, and address complex societal challenges such as climate change. AI’s promise, however, comes with significant ethical, security, and technical challenges, such as ensuring its equitable and safe deployment and safeguarding against biases against marginalized communities.
FAS advances the development of comprehensive AI policies that address current challenges and anticipate future issues. We engage with the public, academia, and the private sector to foster a broader understanding of artificial intelligence policy issues, gathering diverse perspectives to inform policy development, and we work to ensure that government agencies have the technical assistance and talent needed to execute on AI priorities.
To sustain America’s leadership in AI innovation, accelerate adoption across the economy, and guarantee that AI systems remain secure and trustworthy, we offer a set of policy recommendations.
Current scientific understanding shows that so-called “anonymization” methods that have been widely used in the past are inadequate for protecting privacy in the era of big data and artificial intelligence.
Dr. Lim will help develop, organize, and implement FAS’s growing contribution in the area of catastrophic risk including on core areas of nuclear weapons, AI and national security, space, and other emerging technologies.
To fully harness the benefits of AI, the public must have confidence that these systems are deployed responsibly and enhance their lives and livelihoods.
