AI Now Institute

The AI Now Institute is a research organization that investigates the social implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and advocates for its responsible development and regulation. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Kate Crawford, a prominent researcher in AI ethics, the institute aims to address the growing concerns surrounding AI's impact on society. Recently, their report 'Uber for Nursing Part II: How Gig Nursing Companies Are Lobbying States to Deregulate Healthcare' highlighted the aggressive lobbying efforts of gig work companies, including those using AI, to deregulate the healthcare sector. This development is newsworthy as it raises questions about the exploitation of workers and the potential consequences of unchecked AI-driven automation in critical industries like healthcare. The institute's research and advocacy efforts continue to be relevant, as policymakers and industry leaders grapple with the complex issues surrounding AI's role in shaping society.
