It shouldn't – because government will have a fundamental role in how we move forward! If you want a better idea of how this will work, look no further than remarks by Dr. Alondra Nelson as she received an award from the Boston Global Forum’s AI World Society Initiative April 30. Nelson is a former Deputy Assistant to President Joe Biden and was Acting Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
She is also a professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies. In a keynote address, she made instructive remarks about what we can expect as government wrestles with this enormous technology change. One of the most fascinating parts of her talk came as she presented insight on developing an ‘AI Bill of Rights’ and how that has worked out across the country – and, in related work, across the world, as societies anticipate the impact of the AI revolution.
At a federal level, she said, it started with an op-ed.
