The Opportunity

I am very excited at the potential for machine learning (and artificial intelligence more broadly) to eventually have an enormously positive impact on the way we protect the common good. At this point, mission-driven artificial intelligence is more an opportunity, a dream, than a widespread reality. But that will change as the technology becomes more easily accessible.

As a society, we now face some very large risks to human survival and the health of the planet. I can’t think of a more worthy job for this remarkable new intelligence that we are now ushering in.

P.S. — I am using a Twitter List to track people and organizations involved in Mission-Driven AI.
