The White House has launched a new website, AI.gov, to make Artificial Intelligence research more accessible across the nation.
The U.S. once led significantly in the global Artificial Intelligence race, but now risks being left behind by China. This is primarily why the White House is drumming up excitement for AI while broadening educational opportunities in the field. The website's target audience is the general public, and its purpose is to make information available to teachers, students interested in science, and inquisitive humanoids.
There are pros and cons when discussing Artificial Intelligence, and we need to be very careful with the development of "thinking" computers. Elon Musk spoke at MIT's AeroAstro Centennial Symposium, and he said basically the same thing.
