Drawing from their CSET report, experts Kayla Goode and Heeu Millie Kim discuss how Indonesia's education and workforce development hold the keys to its AI potential.

In an opinion piece for The Hill, Research Fellow Diana Gehlhaus calls for a clear U.S. AI workforce policy if the U.S. wants to be the leader in AI talent drawing from her latest report.

In her latest CSET report, Research Fellow Diana Gehlhaus discusses the United States' lack of a defined AI education and AI workforce policy, and offers policy recommendations.

This policy brief addresses the need for a clearly defined artificial intelligence education and workforce policy by providing recommendations designed to grow, sustain, and diversify the U.S. AI workforce. The authors employ a comprehensive definition of the AI workforce—technical and nontechnical occupations—and provide data-driven policy goals. Their recommendations are designed to leverage opportunities within the U.S. education and training system while mitigating its challenges, and prioritize equity in access and opportunity to AI education and AI careers.

CSET's September webinar with experts Andrew Lohn, Katerina Sedova, and Micah Musser raise alarms on how AI technology, specifically GPT-3, can generate disinformation.

CSET's machine learning primer "Hacking AI" illustrates how hackers can access AI systems and argues for policymakers to build a robust and transparent AI for military systems.

According to The Hill, China is outpacing the U.S.' development of frontier technologies in part due to China's asymmetric STEM talent. According to a CSET brief, China produces twice as many STEM PhDs annually compared to the U.S.

This policy brief, authored in collaboration with the MITRE Corporation, provides a new perspective on the U.S. Department of Defense’s struggle to recruit and retain artificial intelligence talent. The authors find that the DOD already has a cadre of AI and related experts, but that this talent remains hidden. Better leveraging this talent could go a long way in meeting the DOD’s AI objectives. The authors argue that this can be done through policies that more effectively identify AI talent and assignment opportunities, processes that incentivize experimentation and changes in career paths, and investing in the necessary technological infrastructure.

CSET's Director of Strategy Helen Toner guest-starred on the EE Times' podcast to discuss what safe and reliable AI looks like.

CSET submitted this comment to the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Science Foundation to support the work of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force to develop an implementation roadmap that would provide AI researchers and students across scientific disciplines access to computational resources, high-quality data, educational tools, and user support.
