One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100)
2026 report coming soon
About
AI100 is a longitudinal effort administered out of Stanford HAI and managed by a standing committee of AI experts from around the world, chaired by Sheila McIlraith, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Its mission is to assess AI not as a snapshot, but as an evolving force across technical, ethical, economic, and societal domains. Every five years, we return to the same standing questions and answer them anew in a changed world.
Framing
Eric Horvitz traces AI100's origins to a 2008-09 AAAI panel on long-term AI futures, whose questions proved too large to settle in a single study. He proposed a century-long program instead, accepted by Stanford in 2014.
Committees and Panels
AI100 is overseen by a Standing Committee, a rotating group of AI leaders drawn from computer science, sociology, ethics, economics, and other fields, which stewards the program's mission and frames the questions each report addresses. Every five years the Committee recruits a Study Panel — researchers who build AI systems or study their societal effects — to assess how the field is advancing and how it is reshaping people's lives.
