Abstract

In September 2016, Stanford's "One Hundred Year Study on Artificial\nIntelligence" project (AI100) issued the first report of its planned long-term\nperiodic assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on society.\nThe report, entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030," examines eight\ndomains of typical urban settings on which AI is likely to have impact over the\ncoming years: transportation, home and service robots, healthcare, education,\npublic safety and security, low-resource communities, employment and workplace,\nand entertainment. It aims to provide the general public with a scientifically\nand technologically accurate portrayal of the current state of AI and its\npotential and to help guide decisions in industry and governments, as well as\nto inform research and development in the field. This article by the chair of\nthe 2016 Study Panel and the inaugural chair of the AI100 Standing Committee\ndescribes the origins of this ambitious longitudinal study, discusses the\nframing of the inaugural report, and presents the report's main findings. It\nconcludes with a brief description of the AI100 project's ongoing efforts and\nplanned next steps.\n
