Without adequate safeguards, AI can widen social and economic schisms, leading to discriminatory outcomes
Since Czech writer Karel Čapek first mentioned robots in a 1920s play, humans have dreamed about intelligent machines. What if robots take over policing? What if nanny-bots look after our children and elderly? What if and this has been rich fodder for dystopian literature they became more intelligent than us?
Surrounded as we are by the vestiges of our analogue world, to many of us, these wonderings may seem decades from fruition. But artificial intelligence (AI), the engine of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is already very much with us.

“From the research of the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, so far, one thing is absolutely clear: Technological change is transforming our work, our lives, and our society and fortunately, the harsh societal consequences that concern us all are not inevitable,” said MIT President L. Rafael Reif at the start of “From Research to Action: Work of the Future,” on Feb. 19.
The event was the second in the MIT Forefront series, which seeks to find bold, new answers to urgent global problems. It reached more than 33,000 people from all over the world and featured discussion among industry, labor, and education leaders about how to create greater shared prosperity.

The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of 16 academic institutions selected for Toyota Research Institute s (TRI) collaborative research program.
Founded in 2015 and now in its second wave of investment with top universities, TRI will invest more than $75 million over the next five years. The university partners will focus on breakthroughs around tough technological challenges in key research priority areas of automated driving, robotics, and machine-assisted cognition. Georgia Tech is honored to work closely with TRI to advance robotics in key fields. It s an exciting start to what we hope will be a longer-term collaboration, said Seth Hutchinson, executive director of Georgia Tech s Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines and professor and KUKA Chair for Robotics in the School of Interactive Computing.
