TITLE:  The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence: An Enduring Study on AI and its Influence on People and Society

PRESENTER:  Eric Horvitz, Microsoft Research





ABSTRACT:

I will present an update on the One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence<https://ai100.stanford.edu/)> (AI100). I will describe the background and status of the project, including the roots of the effort in earlier experiences with the 2008-09 AAAI Panel on Long-Term AI Futures that culminated in the AAAI Asilomar meeting.  I will discuss highlights of the report by the 2016 study panel and reflect about several directions for investigation, highlighting opportunities for reflection and investment in proactive research, monitoring, and guidance.  I look forward to comments and feedback from seminar attendees.
