+<a href="/people/julia">Julia Stoyanovich</a> spoke at the US Senate
+AI Insight Forum on High Impact AI. Her main message was that most AI
+systems are high-impact.  AI systems can be great.  But then can also
+make mistakes, amplify inequities or make arbitrary predictions. And,
+whether AI is beneficial, harmful or inconsequential, its use has
+substantial environmental impacts!
+
+She maintains that US Congress can and should play a central role in
+ensuring that we realize the benefits of AI while controlling the
+risks – to individuals, organizations, society at large, and the
+environment.  In her statement, she makes three recommendations
+towards this goal.
+
+First, Congress should mandate public disclosure about the use of AI,
+starting with its use by the federal government. Second, she
+recommends that Congress should substantially increase federal
+investment in Responsible AI research, education and training, and
+that it should direct that funding to academia through NSF, NIH and
+other federal agencies.  Finally, she recommends that Congress should
+mandate a comprehensive inquiry into the environmental impact of AI,
+and financially disincentivize unnecessary or unproductive use of AI
+to limit these impacts.
