Post by The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

Nearly seventy years after Dartmouth College researchers first coined the term “artificial intelligence,” Tuck and Dartmouth continue to advance understanding of AI’s impact on business and society. At the third annual Dartmouth AI Conference, led by The Center for Digital Strategies at the Tuck School of Business, hundreds of alumni, students, and experts gathered in Silicon Valley to explore both the opportunities and responsibilities of AI. From cutting-edge innovation to real-world applications in cybersecurity, product development, and health care, the day’s conversations reflected the depth of expertise across the Dartmouth and Tuck networks. Keynote speaker Chris O'Neill T’01, CEO of GrowthLoop and former executive at Google and Evernote, reflected on the pace of change, noting that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes. The pace of change with AI is very steep—and it has woven itself into almost every part of our personal and professional lives.” Other speakers included alumni driving AI innovation across tech—from Google and LinkedIn to CrowdStrike, OpenAI, and Anthropic. “The Dartmouth and Tuck networks in AI run incredibly deep inside the best companies in the world, and it’s powerful to bring those perspectives together in one room," says Patrick Wheeler, executive director of the Tuck Center for Digital Strategies.
