Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology driving innovations, enabling new discoveries, and spurring economic growth, and is impacting everything from routine daily tasks and services, to addressing societal-level grand challenges. AI can also have negative social, environmental, and even economic consequences. To realize the positive and transformative potential of AI, it is imperative to advance AI and its applications responsibly, i.e., in a way that achieves societal good while also protecting privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, and promotes principles of fairness, accountability, and transparency.
