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 judgement and where does it fall short? Where should it never replace human judgement? Who is accountable when it fails? And what does AI cost us?
