The century-long project, born from Eric Horvitz's 2008-09 AAAI Presidential Panel, convenes expert panels every 5 years. The latest edition covers 2021-2026 — the period when ChatGPT, Claude and other general-purpose AI tools went from speculation to everyday reality for millions — assessing technical, ethical, economic and societal shifts.
