Game Changers: Artificial Intelligence Part III, Artificial Intelligence and Public Policy: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Information Technology of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, 115th Cong., 2d Sess. (April 18, 2018) (full-text).

Overview[]

This is the April 18, 2018 hearing held before the House Subcommittee on Information Technology of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

From the opening statement of Will Hurd:

This afternoon, we are going to discuss the appropriate roles for the public and private sectors as AI, artificial intelligence, matures. AI presents a wealth of opportunities to impact our world in a positive way. For those who are vision impaired, there is AI that describes the physical world around them to help them navigate, making them more independent. AI helps oncologists target cancer treatment more quickly. AI has the potential to improve government systems so that people spend less time trying to fix problems, like Social Security cards or in line at Customs. As with anything that brings tremendous potential for rewards, there are great challenges ahead as well. AI can create video clips of people saying things they did not say and would never support. AI tools and cyber attacks can increase the magnitude and reach of those — of these attacks to disastrous levels.
