Ensure AI serves the public good
The Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society is home to the world’s foremost experts in AI safety who are working together to help revolutionary tech to serve the common good.
New technologies continue to reshape our lives, particularly when it comes to artificial intelligence. But as AI technology rapidly evolves, how can we help ensure it works to our collective benefit? What obligations do companies have to evaluate AI’s impacts on individuals and humanity? Are there ways we can foster responsible AI development while ensuring the technology continues to spur innovation and open exciting new research and economic opportunities?
The Schwartz Reisman Institute is playing a strong global role in ensuring that AI continues to work for humanity’s benefit. Right now, we are building on our important contributions to this topic and galvanizing our scholarly resources around the challenge of keeping AI systems in check.
