Solo Talk: AI Risk

A decade on and a decade to go

A decade ago, the discourse around AI risk began its emergence onto the global platform following Nick Bostrom's seminal work, Superintelligence. The assertions were bold: Humanity is on track to build powerful AI systems that it will not be able to understand or control, and the default outcome is extinction. But how has this narrative endured? What predictions did the pessimists accurately forecast? And what aspects did they overlook entirely?

Join Natalie Cargill as she delves into these pivotal inquiries that could shape the trajectory of human development and our treatment of AI. After the talk, there will be an opportunity to ask Natalie your questions in a live audience Q&A.
