This week in The History of AI at AIWS.net – The UN Charter Day Roundtable: A Social Contract in the Age of AI and Intellectual Society was hosted on June 26, 2020.
The roundtable was an event of the UN to discuss the Social Contract 2020 (A New Social Contract in the Age of AI), as well as other new concepts and terms such as “Intellectual Society.” Participants of this roundtable were Governor Michael Dukakis, Nguyen Anh Tuan, professors Thomas Patterson, Nazli Choucri, Alex Pentland, and David Silbersweig. The moderator was Ramu Damodaran, Chief of United Nations Academic Impact, Editor in Chief of The United Nations Chronicle.
This roundtable, albeit happening just in the past year, is 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.
