The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100) released its second periodic report in September 2021, outlining AI’s evolving impact on society. The report, titled “Gathering Strength, Gathering Storms,” seeks to answer 14 questions about AI’s risks, societal effects, public perception, and future. A panel of 17 AI researchers, chaired by Michael Littman, authored the report, while the AI100 Standing Committee—led by Peter Stone—developed the interdisciplinary questions. It concludes that AI has rapidly moved from laboratory settings into everyday life, heightening the need to understand its potential negative consequences.
In September 2021, the "One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence" project (AI100) issued the second report of its planned long-term periodic assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on society. It was written by a panel of 17 study authors, each of whom is deeply rooted in AI research, chaired by Michael Littman of Brown University. The report, entitled "Gathering Strength, Gathering Storms," answers a set of 14 questions probing critical areas of AI development addressing the major risks and dangers of AI, its effects on society, its public perception and the future of the field. The report concludes that AI has made a major leap from the lab to people's lives in recent years, which increases the urgency to understand its potential negative effects. The questions were developed by the AI100 Standing Committee, chaired by Peter Stone of the University of Texas at Austin, consisting of a group of AI leaders with expertise in computer science, sociology, ethics, economics, and other disciplines.
