America Must Lead the Global Charge on Artificial Intelligence

Nelson Cunningham (ALI Advisory Board member) and David Beier discuss the importance of the U.S. taking the lead in setting global standards for Artificial Intelligence (AI). He frames this priority in terms that ALI has explored in the digital space—whose rules will shape the future of AI- the liberal Western view or the Chinese authoritarian view?  The US should lead by working with a group of like-minded allies to develop global standards for AI—standards that ensure privacy and protect consumer data, while facilitating global commerce. Such standards should also limit governments’ use of AI for surveillance and other authoritarian uses, and promote ethical uses for both the private and public sectors. The Chinese are making significant inroads in developing AI, and the US should move quickly to work with its allies to develop a framework of ethical and practical standards.
