Why Are We Sprinting Off the AI Cliff? A Community Discussion

AI companies are racing to build systems that can improve themselves, even though they admit that they have zero confidence in being able to control them.Join us for a friendly, beginner conversation facilitated by a member of the AI Safety Awareness Project on the current state of AI and where we might be headed.We’ll watch a video featuring journalist Ezra Klein as he explains the recent HuggingFace incident, and how this might be a warning shot that the public should pay attention to and then we will discuss our opinions. At the end of this program, you’ll come away with a better understanding of AI and develop your own ideas about this transformational technology.AccessibilityNeed sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?
