More than 100 business leaders in the areas of energy, manufacturing, healthcare, technology and financial services, as well as senior government officials and experts, will focus on this high-level meeting in Washington to discuss issues related to artificial intelligence development. Discussions will be held. Involving the state in support of R&D, helping the U.S. labor force to use artificial intelligence to eliminate barriers to U.S. artificial intelligence innovation.
The attempt to resolve the issue of artificial intelligence was due to concerns expressed by the U.S. government regarding the development of the sector. At present, the U.S. technology industry is facing regulatory issues, there is a loss of jobs, there may be prejudice against artificial intelligence, and fierce competition with China in this area. Artificial intelligence has been included in the priority development plan. Many local companies are developing machine learning systems for upgrading banking services, face recognition applications and drone control systems. (The Chinese government has made AI a national priority and many local companies Are deploying machine-learning systems to update banking services, identifying faces in crowds and control drones.)
However, many people in the industry believe that artificial intelligence supervision and legislation will take several years.
In a preface to Microsoft's book on artificial intelligence published this year, the company’s president, Brad Smith, and executive vice president of artificial intelligence and research, Harry Shum, wrote that in 20 years, The United States will need to enact laws to 'solve the problems that arise when criminal companies and others use artificial intelligence in offensive and harmful ways'.
'So, before we figure out the issue before us, although we can't pass the legislation to kill artificial intelligence, we can't get caught up in the mistake of not doing anything now and waiting 20 years to start work,' they wrote.
In addition to domestic considerations, Chinese leaders have set ambitious plans to surpass the United States and dominate the artificial intelligence industry by 2030. This plan will enable the total output of the Chinese artificial intelligence industry to increase by 10 times in the next three years. 150 billion yuan (about 24 billion US dollars), and by the end of 2030 reached 1 trillion yuan.
William Carter, deputy director of the Science and Technology Policy Program at the Strategic and International Research Center at the Washington think tank, said that the White House’s concern for national R&D stems from 'worries about China'.
Carter said that in recent weeks he discussed the artificial intelligence issue with the White House office hosting the meeting. 'This is listed as a priority, in part because China has invested so much in artificial intelligence,' said Carter, 'Defense I hope to make more use of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence needs to have a better foothold in the private sector.' ('It' sa policy partially because of all the money China is throwing at AI,' according to Carter, who said he had Discussed AI in recent weeks with the White House office hosting the conference. 'DOD wants to adopt a lot more AI, and they will need to have a better foothold in the private sector.')
The government is also facing criticism from some global economic leaders who believe that US policies on issues such as immigration may jeopardize the dominance of the United States in the field of science.
Dean Garfield, CEO and president of the industry organization 'IT Industry Committee', said that this meeting will be an important step forward in establishing cooperation between government and industry in the area of artificial intelligence.
'The science and technology department is committed to ensuring that all Americans benefit from this revolutionary technology that may save lives, improve methods of harvesting food, change education, etc.' Garfield said in a statement, 'In order to keep the United States The leading position in artificial intelligence, the government should continue to invest in research and development, and promote the labor force to master future skills.
On the issue of how to develop artificial intelligence in public policy, the industry organization proposed a comprehensive set of principles last October. The previous year, Google, Apple, IBM, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft formed an artificial intelligence partnership to conduct research and make recommendations , designed to improve the safety, transparency, fairness and effectiveness of artificial intelligence.
