The field of AI contains a variety of technologies, each at differing maturity levels, that pose a range of benefits and challenges when applied to public life. The morning session will focus on providing foundational knowledge, equipping policy leaders with a better understanding of technology and applications of AI, as well as the significant implications for government.

Afternoon: Drilling Down

Through identifying the considerations and risks that AI possesses for policymakers, the afternoon will involve interactive discussion on the cross-cutting opportunities and risks that AI presents in and outside of government.

This package provides an overview of the key concepts and cross-cutting issues in an AI-enabled world. Beginning with the origins of artificial intelligence, it explores the present-day capabilities and the challenges and opportunities associated with technological advances and their application to public life and public policy. Prepared for participants in advance of the AI+Public Policy conference, these materials are available for public distribution. Both technologists and public servants are encouraged to read these in advance of the event as a level-set prior to what will be a dynamic conversation.
