Seventy years ago, scientists came together to answer one question: Can machines simulate human learning? They called it artificial intelligence.
Next week, we’re hosting our AI at 70 conference on Oct. 29-31 that asks a harder question—What Must Remain Human? We’re bringing together a wide range of speakers, including AI system builders like Mira Murati and Yann LeCun and scholars like Hany Farid and Molly Crockett: https://bit.ly/4i4220l
Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth professor Peter Chin, who is chairing the conference, wants many smart and passionate people to have a conversation about the boundaries between human judgment and artificial intelligence.
“I imagine a future where humans are at the center of making decisions,” says Chin.
