This study focuses on deployment of AI around the world to inform emerging market norms and policy and to focus research on critical issues. It finds that in the five years since a previous report, the field of AI has made substantial progress in affecting real-world decision making and everyday life. These advances have enhanced focus on the legal, regulatory, and ethical challenges of responsibly deploying AI systems. The report calls for “sustained investment of time and resources” from government institutions to prepare for and foster “an equitable AI-infused world.”
