The purpose of this article is to report on the findings of two workshops exploring the evolution of artificial intelligence technologies — specifically used in care‐driven or predictive applications — and their impacts on society as a whole, organized as part of the AI100's 100‐year‐long study of artificial intelligence. Workshop participants concluded that care cannot be commodified or reduced into outcome‐oriented tasks and can therefore not be encoded into technology; additionally participants determined that regulation of predictive artificial intelligence technologies is required to maintain their benefit and trustworthiness. The aim of these workshops is to encapsulate both the ups and downs of these technologies. The study organizers and participants feel their role is to bring the integration of artificial intelligence technology into societal values to the forefront of discussions for its future.
