Humanity's greatest risk or breakthrough?
AI is advancing at breakneck speed, and with it comes tremendous breakthroughs—and staggering risks. As we move closer toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the idea that machines can learn and think across any domain doesn’t seem so far away. Will AGI help humanity flourish, or could it outpace our ability to control it?
On November 21, at 1-2 p.m. ET, Dan Hendryks will address questions and topics like:
- What can governments, NGOs, and companies do to prevent an AGI arms race?
- How can checks and balances be set up so AGI doesn’t stray from human values?
- Can AGI systems really dominate human interests?
- What are the most dangerous aspects of AGI that people aren’t talking about enough?
- What can we do to make sure AGI doesn’t lead us into a dystopian future?
- What are the pros and cons of regulating AI development?
Join us and bring your questions.
