The field of artificial intelligence started at Dartmouth in the summer of 1956. The question then was whether machines could think. Seventy years later, the more consequential question is how humans think, create, and lead alongside them. At Dartmouth, we are already tackling that question. The first clinically tested AI therapy chatbot, Therabot, has results that match traditional outpatient therapy. Computer scientists and linguists are building AI models to help communities revitalize endangered languages. And faculty across disciplines are exploring how to teach students to reason and think critically in a world where AI can produce a passable answer to almost anything. "Our legacy carries a responsibility to anchor innovation in human judgment," says President Sian Leah Beilock. The 70th anniversary is a full year of conversations—about what AI is, who it serves, and what we want it to become. https://bit.ly/4sqCRHO
