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.
tudents in the 21st century need strong critical thinking skills like reasoning, questioning, and problem-solving, before they can meaningfully engage with more advanced domains like digital, data, or AI literacy.
Integrating AI tools into healthcare has an immense amount of potential to improve patient outcomes, streamline clinical workflows, and reduce errors and bias.
Most patient safety challenges are not really captured and there are not enough tools to empower clinicians to improve. Here are four proposals for improving patient safety that are worthy of attention and action.
The current lack of public trust in AI risks inhibiting innovation and adoption of AI systems, meaning new methods will not be discovered and new benefits won’t be felt. A failure to uphold high standards in the technology we deploy will also place our nation at a strategic disadvantage compared to our competitors.
