In 1956, the Dartmouth Summer Research Project launched the field of artificial intelligence. It was here in Hanover that the term was coined and the foundational question was asked: can machines solve problems once reserved for human minds? Seventy years later, 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?

Over three days, the conference will bring together leaders from government, industry, and academia, along with scholars, critics, and students, to discuss what AI makes possible, question its limits, and confront the challenges it creates. The conference will also mark the release of new research on the relationship between AI and human capability. The event is supported in part by The Rockefeller Foundation, which helped fund the original gathering in 1956. A livestream of the sessions will be available Oct. 29-31.
