Artificial Intelligence Futures
Artificial intelligence futures is about how AI may develop in the years ahead and how government may respond. It covers regulation, intellectual property, safety, and the use of AI in public services. Congress, federal agencies, the courts, and state legislatures are all involved in setting the rules.
People usually ask whether and how AI should be regulated, who is responsible when it causes harm, how it fits into patent and copyright law, and how it could change jobs, driving, and drones. Some favor fewer rules to encourage innovation. Others favor stronger rules to manage risk.
