Defining the Field of AI

What Must Remain Human?
Dartmouth will convene an anniversary conference to continue the conversation—this time focused not on what AI can do, but on what humans must do in its presence. The original workshop asked how machines could think. This one asks a different set of questions: Where does AI improve human judgment and where does it fall short? Where should it never replace human judgment? Who is accountable when it fails? And what does AI cost us?

Conference Schedule & Livestream
Three days of keynotes, panels and short-form talks, built for dialogue. Our speakers come from different fields, and they don’t always share the same view of AI’s value, costs, and limits.
