The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence:
An Enduring Study on AI and its Influence on People and Society

Eric Horvitz
Technical Fellow and Managing Director
Microsoft Research--Redmond

I will present an update on the One Hundred Year Study on AI at Stanford. I will describe the background and status of the project, including the roots of the effort in earlier experiences with the 2008-09 AAAI Panel on Long-Term AI Futures that culminated in the AAAI Asilomar meeting. I will call out several directions for investigation, highlighting opportunities for reflection and investment in proactive research, monitoring, and guidance.
