This week in The History of AI at AIWS.net – the World Leadership Alliance Club de Madrid organized the Online Roundtable “A New Social Contract in the Age of AI” on May 12, 2020.
The Roundtable was organized by the WLA-CdM in conjunction with Boston Global Forum. Panelists of the roundtable included professors and former head of states and governments. Members include the authors of the Social Contract 2020 – Thomas Patterson, Nazli Choucri, Alex Pentland, David Silbersweig, and Nguyen Anh Tuan. The full working title of this was “The Social Contract 2020, A New Social Contract in the Age of AI”.
This roundtable, although it happened in the recent past, was a contributing stone to the foundation and the road to the Social Contract 2020, which was released later that year. Thus, the HAI project considers this a milestone in the development of artificial intelligence, in broader society.
