As reported by Technology Review, The White House promises to release government data to fuel the AI boom. Mr. Michael Kratsios, Donald Trump’s deputy assistant and Deputy U.S Chief Technology Officer, at Em Tech Next said, “Anything that we can do to unlock government data, we’re committed to.” The data can be used to train innovative algorithms in machine learning contexts.
While technology can be a positive force, there is a very real and important question about the role of data control. Therefore, we need to have a set of standards and norms to advance the peaceful development of AI, which is the reason AIWS has established the Ethical Frameworks for AI.
