Good news! The near future has arrived and you’re ready to purchase your first fully autonomous vehicle. You have narrowed down your search to a few manufacturers and have just one decision left to make: How would you like your vehicle to respond if it finds itself in a potential collision with other autonomous vehicles?
AI is advancing rapidly at the cognitive tasks that make up knowledge work, raising fears among firms, policymakers, and, not least, workers of a “China shock” for white-collar jobs. Neil Thompson will present new research on whether those fears are warranted.

Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth and prosperity. There is great excitement- but also concerns- about the impacts of AI on science, but so far little data. We provide early insights on this from three data sources: a sample of 15 million Gemini interactions, an inventory of over 2,600 specialized AI models across disciplines, and a survey of over 600 scientists.

This talk will cover key insights from the third AI100 report, AI Goes Mainstream: The Scaling Era and the Rise of Generative AI, set for release in October 2026. The report was commissioned by the AI100 standing committee and led by study panel chair Michael Wooldridge.

If, like most people, you care more about your own safety and that of your friends and family than you care about the safety of strangers on the road, you will understandably be drawn to a vehicle that is programmed to be, at least to some degree, occupant-favoring. Such a vehicle would tend to select courses of action that reduce harm to its own passengers in a crash, even when doing so means that a greater harm will befall the occupants of other vehicles. Because most consumers are like you, occupant-favoring vehicles will soon dominate the market if they are not regulated. In this talk, which draws on a joint project with Tomi Francis (Oxford), Todd Karhu will discuss reasons for and against a regulatory ban on occupant-favoring vehicles, including the possibility that if no passengers are allowed to operate occupant-favoring vehicles, every passenger will be safer than if all do.
