It’s 2050. AI has turned out to be hugely beneficial to society. What happened?

What are the most important problems we solved and the opportunities and possibilities we realized to ensure this outcome? This is AI2050’s motivating question.

The initiative aims to answer this question by making awards to support work conducted by researchers from across the globe and at various stages in their careers, bringing them together into an interdisciplinary community, and conducting research into the hard problems in artificial intelligence.
