Moderated by Eric Donado, Managing Director of AI Investments at L Catterton
"The Race to Superintelligence — and the Fight for Our Humanity”
$45 (includes talk, book, wine & charcuterie)
AI is advancing faster than governments can regulate it; developing the autonomous will and capability to bypass human constraints. What does this mean? How will this play out? Can we put the toothpaste back in the tube?
Should we be worried?
Few people have the breadth of understanding that Kevin Roose has. An award-winning New York Times technology journalist, co-host of the acclaimed podcast Hard Fork, and one of Forbes's "30 Under 30," Roose has personally interviewed the most important people shaping the future of artificial intelligence — including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
A graduate of Brown University, Roose is the New York Times bestselling author of three previous books: Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation, a guide to thriving alongside AI; Young Money, his acclaimed exposé of life inside Wall Street's biggest banks; and The Unlikely Disciple, the story of the semester he spent at Liberty University, exploring the world of evangelical Christian faith.
Kevin’s new book, The AGI Chronicles reveals the true story of the most high-stakes technological quest in human history—an audacious attempt to create a new, alien form of intelligence that could either save humanity or destroy it.
