On Wednesday, the House of Lords announced a public call for experts to weigh in on issues surrounding AI, including its ethical, economic and social effects on society as the technology becomes more prevalent.

They want to know who AI is helping the most, who it’s hurting, what role the government should play, and how AI will look in the next 20 years. “The Committee wants to use this inquiry to understand what opportunities may exist for society in the development and use of artificial intelligence, as well as what risks there might be,” Lord Clement-Jones, the chairman of the committee on AI said in a statement.Experts can submit their testimonies here. The deadline for entries is on September 6. Share your voice 0 Tags Politics Artificial intelligence
