RE: Opening the AI Black Box

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Technology has issued a report entitled "Rise of the Machines: Artificial Intelligence and its Growing Impact on U.S. Policy." 

 

One of the report's conclusions is that "a widely agreed upon standard for measuring the safety and security of AI products and applications should precede any new regulations."  <https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/AI-White-Paper-.pdf> https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/AI-White-Paper-.pdf 

 

Chairman Hurd emphasized the need for a national strategy and both he and ranking minority member Kelly referenced the importance of open data.  Two logical conclusions that might be drawn are: 

 

1) the AI strategy itself should be published in an open, standard, machine-readable format like Strategy Markup Language (StratML) Part 1 (ISO 17469-1) and  

 

2) AI product and application safety and security metrics should be reported in a format like StratML Part 2, Performance Plans and Reports.

Greetings, back from Japan,

 

I was quiet because a) both my computer crashed and b) I relocated

to another country in Asia, I am now in Tawan

 

Japan was a research trip in part relevant to the interest area of this group

 

Much AI needs more high level thinking

It seems that most universities are teaching ML algos but not KR

 

I think the work of our group is much needed

I ll add this to the resources and may perform some key word extraction

to pick out relevant concepts and terms
