Taking a Measured Approach to Investing in Information Infrastructure for Attaining Leading-Edge Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence

As we ramp up our investment in our artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, concerns about the reliability, resiliency, and security of that infrastructure need to be addressed. Competition, whether political, economic, or otherwise, along with factors such as the rapid evolution of information technology, contributes to an ever-present tension when choosing between taking an expedient or a measured approach to investing in information infrastructure. We see this pressure playing out for AI. Our ability to conduct responsible AI (RAI) research and development goes beyond addressing data and algorithm requirements. It also requires the availability and proper use of state-of-the-art information infrastructure.
