The emerging artificial intelligence, or AI, industry is anxious to give its technology human-level intelligence and cognitive abilities. But some researchers and public policymakers are urging caution. As one safeguard, they are recommending scientists in academia and industry collaborate with these companies to guide further AI development in a prudent manner that helps to prevent problematic outcomes. Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, is among those who advises  putting safeguards in place to ensure AI’s reasoning would be reliably coherent and provide verifiable benefits to society without the risks of accompanying detrimental impacts.
