✨ NEW: How can the U.S. stay ahead in AI?

OSTP called for input on developing an “AI Action Plan.” Our response outlines the steps the U.S. should take to:

1️⃣Secure and advance its AI leadership
2️⃣Navigate competition with China
3️⃣Realize AI’s benefits and avoid its risks
Curious how AI is being used in the field of radiology?

Research Fellow Jack Karsten shared his insights with
@cnn.com!
