The Asilomar Conference on Beneficial AI was a conference organized by the Future of Life Institute,[1] held January 5–8, 2017, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in California. More than 100 thought leaders and researchers in economics, law, ethics, and philosophy met at the conference, to address and formulate principles of beneficial AI.[2] Its outcome was the creation of a set of guidelines for AI research – the 23 Asilomar AI Principles.[3]
The principles, published as an open letter, received signatures from scientist Stephen Hawking, CEO of Google Deepmind Demis Hassabis, AI researchers Ilya Sutskever, Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Stuart Russell, philosophers Sam Harris and Will MacAskill, and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, amongst others.[4][5][3]
