Background[edit]
The Future Society was founded in 2014 at the Harvard Kennedy School to raise awareness around issues involving the NBIC revolution.[3] In 2015, the organisation launched the “AI Initiative” to focus specifically on developing a governance framework for artificial intelligence.
The Future Society leverages a global, multidisciplinary network of experts, practitioners, and institutional partners. Their work encompasses developing policy research and advisory services, seminars and summits, educational and leadership development programs, as well as special projects. The Future Society is independent yet connected to relevant stakeholders, and tackles a broad, but carefully selected, range of short-term and longer-term issues in AI governance. The Future Society has partnered with a number of governments and international organizations including UNESCO,[4] World Bank Group,[5] The Paris Peace Forum,[6] and The World Government Summit[7] in Dubai.
Research and Initiatives[edit]
The Future Society carries out multidisciplinary research powered by collective intelligence methods. In September 2017, The Future Society launched a series of online and physical workshops crowdsourcing citizens opinions about artificial intelligence.[8] The findings of the global civic debate were synthesised in a report presented to the European Parliament.[9]
