About this Event
Recent developments have underscored how rapidly and unexpectedly AI risks can evolve. These range from deliberate misuse by bad actors to unintended behavior by AI systems. Their growing ability to act autonomously and coordinate with other AI agents poses new challenges for human oversight.
Penn AI is convening a panel to examine the many dimensions of AI risk, their broader social implications, and the options for mitigating them. What forms of accountability and oversight are needed? Who bears the risks, and who gets to shape the response? What is the balance between technical interventions and policy solutions?
The discussion will also consider AI’s changing role in research, taking recent advances in mathematics as a starting point. Alongside new opportunities for discovery, the panel will explore what is at stake for the human dimensions of scholarship: judgment, creativity, the training of the next generation of scholars, and the pursuit of understanding.
