The Imagining the Digital Future Center at Elon University has just released its first report since Lee Rainie , recently retired from the Pew Internet and American Life project, joined his collaborator Janna Anderson at Elon University to continue their program of canvassing experts and surveying the public to gain insight into possible futures for the evolving digital environment. This study looks at possible impacts of Ai on society over the next 15 years. There are almost 300 contributors to the report (disclosure: I am one of those contributors, and my contribution can be found in chapter 6).
