About this event
When Jacob Coxon recently quit Anthropic, he tweeted: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."
How would this happen? How would AI cause human extinction? At the Existential Risk Observatory, we have done research into this question, together with MIT FutureTech and the Future of Life Institute. We arrived at eight AI existential risk scenarios. We will present them to you at our event.
Our speakers are:
Keynote + Q&A:
Prof. Geoffrey Hinton is Nobel Prize laureate known for his work on artificial neural networks.
Risk scenarios introduction:
Hugo Save is Researcher at the Existential Risk Observatory and lead author of our risk scenario work.
Panel:
Buck Shlegeris is CEO at Redwood Research. Daniel Kokotajlo leads the AI Futures Project, which originated the AI 2027 and AI 2040 scenarios. He formerly worked at OpenAI. Malo Bourgon is CEO at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI).
Closing:
Otto Barten is Director of the Existential Risk Observatory
We are looking forward to welcoming you!
