norms standards: AI, which is usefully viewed as an inter-connected Big Data/IoT/Robotics set of technologies, promises to be a game changer from economics to the automation of the battlefield, according to Global Times China. AI is more an enabling force, like electricity, than any other thing, and like apps today, it is already being applied to most industries and services. With AI at the center of US-China tech rivalry, whether common ethical norms and standards can be adopted, or whether US-China zero-sum competition will lead to a race to the bottom, is a loaded question. By 2030, AI algorithms will be in every imaginable app and pervasive in robots, reshaping industries from healthcare and education to finance and transportation, to military organization. The urgent challenge for the coming decade is to develop global ethical principles, standards and norms to govern the development and use of AI. The good news is that an assessment of four major international statements on AI governance since 2017 from the US, the EU, OECD and in China's 2018 white paper on artificial intelligence standardization reveal large areas of commonality. AI has already entered military management, logistics and target acquisition.
