Overview
On May 24, 2019 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, in partnership with the Royal Society, held a symposium entitled "Artificial Intelligence: An International Dialogue" in Washington, D.C. The symposium addressed if and how artificial intelligence (AI) would benefit from further international cooperation. It primarily focused on the aspect of AI known as ‘machine learning’ (or ‘deep learning’) as this is an area of increasing attention and rapid technological advancement. The event also addressed discussions at a day-and-a-half meeting on May 23-24, 2019 convened by the National Academies and Royal Society where 45 scientists, engineers, and other AI experts from around the world discussed key areas of national and international policy on AI where international collaboration would be most beneficial.
