The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence, launched in the fall of 2014, is a longterm investigation of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its influences on people, their communities, and society. It considers the science, engineering, and deployment of AI-enabled computing systems.
The report details AI progress since circa 2000 and its potential implications for the next fifteen or so years in areas as diverse as transportation, personalized medicine and education, entertainment, and politics. There's not a ton of new background for the well-versed, or any particularly bold predictions or calls-to-action, but the overview of the recent history, the changing landscape, the potential future, and the outstanding legal and ethical challenges make for a thorough brief.
