September Pub Scholars Topic - AI in the Driver's Seat: What the Rise of Autonomous Systems Means for All of Us
Autonomous systems are rapidly moving from research labs into everyday life. From self-driving taxis expanding into Washington, D.C. to the growing use of AI-enabled drones and autonomous technologies in national defense, these technologies are reshaping transportation, security, and society. As these technologies become more capable and more common, they also raise important questions about safety, reliability, regulation, and the appropriate role of humans in overseeing AI-driven decisions.
