What Must Remain Human?

AI @70: What Must Remain Human?

Seventy years after the Dartmouth workshop that launched artificial intelligence, Dartmouth convenes the conversation again — this time focused on what must remain human. Over three days, national leaders, faculty, and students will take on the questions that matter most: where AI helps, where humans must lead, and who is accountable when systems fail. Programming includes keynotes, panels, structured debates, TED-style talks, a student hackathon, a film screening, and a ceremony at Dartmouth Hall.
