Today, Sutherland Institute released 25 Ways AI is Helping People Flourish, a new policy report outlining how artificial intelligence is serving human beings by contributing to their flourishing in Utah and beyond.
The report highlights real-world examples of AI improving outcomes for people of all ages in education, government, health care, and family life. The report authors, Derek Monson and Ford Copple, argue that Utah is a leader in AI innovation because we have thus far pursued a sound approach to AI policy: Thoughtful, principled, and evidence-based discussion of how to balance important principles to arrive at policy outcomes that benefit people.
“A pro-human approach to AI policy will prioritize safeguarding the ways that AI is helping children and adults as it seeks to protect against its harmful applications,” said Derek Monson, Executive Director at Sutherland. “It doesn’t help children to undermine their future by enacting reforms that fail to adequately account for how AI is and will continue to improve our lives. The policy decisions we make today will determine whether AI in the future remains a source of human flourishing or if it will become a generational lost opportunity.”
