risk assessments of AI's potential threat
to critical national infrastructure. .
At the same time, the government has dialed up
its efforts to bring more AI experts and other
data scientists into federal agencies.
We know that AI has transformative effects
and potential. We’re not trying to upend
the apple cart there, but we are trying
to make sure the regulators are
prepared to manage this technology, Ben Buchanan, White Housespecial adviser on
Artificial Intelligence, via Associated Press
