Charge of the AI100 Standing Committee to the 2015-2016 Study Panel

By 2030, advances in the science and practice of artificial intelligence
(AI) will likely have significant effect on such diverse aspects of
daily life as the nature of work, transportation, healthcare, the
environment, urban planning and development, public safety,
community engagement, approaches to governance, interpersonal
relationships, and self-perception. While many such influences may
already be predicted from expected trends in AI research and
applications, surprises are also likely—unanticipated new AI
competencies as well as unexpected disruptive influences from
predicted advances. The goals of the study on AI and Life in 2030 are
to identify possible AI advances over the next 15 years and their
potential influences on daily life and to help shape future outcomes
for the better proactively through deliberations about the design of
systems incorporating these advances and policy related to them.
