About this Event

The Alignment Problem: AI Series (Philosophy Salon)

One of the attractions of using AI is that it massively accelerates our knowledge quest. It has the capacity to radically advance science, medicine, and even art. There is, of course, a catch. It's possible that AI's advancement will eventually clash with our values - and there is more to be nervous about here than the existential threat. In this philosophy salon, we will talk about different ways that AI can fail to align with us and where we are heading, and think more carefully about where we stand in all this.

Meeting Information

Doors open at 18:45 and close at 19:10. Please be on time! We won't be able to accommodate attendees arriving after 19:10.

Philosophy Salons

The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons are organized by Anya Farennikova, a philosopher of mind based in Amsterdam. We dive deep into beliefs and ideas, dive out, and have fun along the way!
