Retaining any edge will take White House leadership and a substantial investment, according to the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence is out with its comprehensive final report recommending a path forward for ensuring U.S. superiority in AI that calls for the Defense Department and the intelligence community to become “AI-ready” by 2025.
NSCAI on Monday during a public meeting voted to approve its final report, which will also be sent to Congress. The report culminates two years of work that began after the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act established the commission to review advances in AI, machine learning and associated technologies.

Google’s Model Search automatically optimizes and identifies AI models
Google today announced the release of Model Search, an open source platform designed to help researchers develop machine learning models efficiently and automatically. Instead of focusing on a specific domain, Google says that Model Search is domain-agnostic, making it capable of finding a model architecture that fits a dataset and problem while minimizing coding time and compute resources.

How Congress and the Biden Administration Could Jumpstart Smart Cities With AI
AI promises to help cities save money, address infrastructure needs, and reduce emissions. But to unlock these benefits and help smart cities reach their full potential, the federal government has an important role to play in funding RD&D and facilitating cooperation.
The next wave of connected and intelligent technologies, including sensors, 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI), holds great promise for improving the energy efficiency of many systems, including urban systems.1 Building automation systems can automatically monitor, control, and optimize a building’s heating and cooling, lighting, and other mechanical systems. Real-time traffic data coupled with smart traffic lights can reduce energy use. Digitalization is also enabling integration of previously isolated systems: Grid-integrated buildings provide demand response to the grid; and smart electric vehicles (EVs) shift their charging times to off-peak hours.
At the same time, cities are increasingly making their own climate commitments and looking for ways to reduce their own emissions—and the emissions of businesses and residents who live in cities. Read More
