Relevant excerpt:
The representative general categories of technology for which Commerce currently seeks to determine whether there are specific emerging technologies that are essential to the national security of the United States include:
(2) Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology, such as:
(i) Neural networks and deep learning (e.g., brain modelling, time series prediction, classification);
(ii) Evolution and genetic computation (e.g., genetic algorithms, genetic programming);
(iii) Reinforcement learning;
(iv) Computer vision (e.g., object recognition, image understanding);
(v) Expert systems (e.g., decision support systems, teaching systems);
(vi) Speech and audio processing (e.g., speech recognition and production);
(vii) Natural language processing (e.g., machine translation);
(viii) Planning (e.g., scheduling, game playing);
(ix) Audio and video manipulation technologies (e.g., voice cloning, deepfakes);
(x) AI cloud technologies; or
(xi) AI chipsets.
- philipkglass 8y agoIt also names "visualization" and "molecular robotics" as (non-AI) representative technology categories. It includes the specific, the absurdly general, and the so-far-imaginary among its categories. The Federal Register publication is not very enlightening and I can't tell if the NYT story is based on anything more than that publication.
- ggggtez 8y agoI'm assuming "molecular robotics" is intended to cover CRISPR-like technologies.
- philipkglass 8y agoThere's a separate section for biotechnology. Molecular robotics is listed under robotics along with smart dust and swarming technology.
- hahabrew 8y agomolecular robotics in a colloquial sense would cover any mechanichal process that is implemented at the molecular level of organization, this would include any sort of sequence determination; construction; or modification -- meaning most of any biotech, and nanotech. Seeing that btech is a separate matter is interesting.
- coldcode 8y agoIf they want to control all of this stuff programming will become almost impossible since everyone is using these things today; it puts your coding in the hands of lawyers (no you can't call that method, its against the law). Even mobile and desktop OS's these days include many of those things, not to mention a big chunk of cloud systems like Amazon become a minefield.
