Mull it over, think tanks, while we roll out this tech into every corner of life
Google has put together a $20 million to fund studies into how artificial intelligence can be developed and used responsibly and have a positive impact on the world.
The $20 million set aside for this Digital Futures Project – not a whole lot of money for Google but a lot for academics and think tanks – will go towards supporting outside researchers exploring how machine-learning technology will shape society as it increasingly encroaches on people's lives.
How will AI impact labor and the economy, what steps can we take today to transition the workforce for AI-enabled jobs of the future, and how can governments use AI to boost productivity and economic growth Google said it has already handed out some of the money as grants to various think tanks: Aspen Institute, Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Center for a New American Security, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and R Street Institute, as well as MIT's Future of Work, and the nonprofit organizations SeedAI, the Institute for Security and Technology, and the Leadership Conference Education Fund.
