Artificial Intelligence and machine learning promise transformational benefits, but also raise concerns about unexpected or undesirable outcomes, especially where data-enabled decisions have consequences for people’s lives. The Congressional AI Caucus held a session on Capitol Hill on November 7, 2017 on how industry, academic and technical groups are addressing these ethical challenges. Members of Congress and their staff heard about the development of ethical standards that can promote the development and use of these technologies, while aligning outcomes to our moral values and ethical principles. Come hear how policymakers and stakeholders can encourage the responsible advancement of Artificial Intelligence to benefit society as this transformational technology becomes a critical element in all aspects of our daily lives.
