AI@50, which is formally known as the "Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference: The Next Fifty Years" (July 13-15, 2006), commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Dartmouth Conferences which effectively inaugurated the history of artificial intelligence. Five of the original ten attendees were present: Marvin Minsky, Ray Solomonoff, Oliver Selfridge, Trenchard More, and John McCarthy.

While sponsored by Dartmouth College, General Electric, and the Frederick Whittemore Foundation, a $200,000 grant from the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA called for a report of the proceedings that would:

  • Analyze progress on AI's original challenges during the first 50 years, and assess whether the challenges were "easier" or "harder" than originally thought and, why
  • Document what the AI@50 participants believe are the major research and development challenges facing this field over the next 50 years, and identify what breakthroughs will be needed to meet those challenges
  • Relate those challenges and breakthroughs against developments and trends in other areas such as control theory, signal processing, information theory, statistics, and optimization theory.

[edit] Note

Many of the historic and distinguished AI researchers invited to present their papers at this conference may well deposit their taxpayer-funded papers in their individual or institutional repositories long before DARPA's official report is openly published on the Web or otherwise made freely available to the public, hence this page exists primarily to centralize links to the authors' sites and their self-archived papers.
