Food Safety Science White Paper

Food safety and the related issue of food protection continues to be a public health priority that requires extensive research, education, and extension efforts focused on the prevention of foodborne outbreaks. This continued priority is in part due to that fact that the production, processing and distribution system for food in and for the U.S. is a diverse, extensive, and easily accessible system. Such an open system is vulnerable to the introduction of contaminants through natural processes, global commerce, and by intentional means. The reduction and control of foodborne pathogens, toxins, and chemicals in the food supply are not possible with a single strategy but rather through concomitant efforts along the food production chain.

THE FUTURE OF AI REGULATION: THE GOVERNMENT AS REGULATOR AND RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PARTICIPANT

whitePaper | March 3, 2020

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have raised concerns in the public—some speculative and some based in contemporary experience. Some of these concerns overlap with concerns about privacy of data, some relate to the effectiveness of AI systems and some relate to the possibility of the misapplication of the technology. At the same time, the development of AI technology is seen as a matter of national priority, and fears of losing the “AI technology race” fuel national efforts to support its development.
