On Sept. 25, House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Technology Chairman Will Hurd (R-TX) and Ranking Member Robin Kelly (D-IL) released a white paper on the intersection of public policy and artificial intelligence (AI). The white paper, entitled “Rise of the Machines: Artificial Intelligence and its Growing Impact on U.S. Policy,” follows a series of hearings the subcommittee began holding in February 2018 in which various experts, academics and industry leaders testified about the future of the technology.
