On October 12, 2016, President Obama’s Executive Office published two reports that laid out its plans for the future of artificial intelligence (AI). The reports received less media attention than they might have otherwise because the United States was gripped by the final weeks of a presidential campaign race.

Combined, the two reports include eighty-eight pages and twenty-five recommendations. Here are the highlights.
