124124

125+
In propositional logic, conjunction elimination (also called and elimination, ∧ elimination, or simplification0 is a valid immediate inference, argument form and rule of inference which makes the inference that, if the conjunction A and B is true, then A is true, and B is true. The rule makes it possible to shorten longer proofs by deriving one of the conjuncts of a conjunction on a line by itself.

The Asilomar Conference on Beneficial AI was a conference organized by the Future of Life Institute, held January 5-8, 2017, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in California. More than 100 thought leaders and researches in economics, law, ethics, and philosophy met at the conference, to address and formulate principles of beneficial AI. Its outcome was the creation of a set of guidelines for AI research – the 23 Asilomar AI Principles.
