September 21, 2023
Headliners Expo Theater

In the popular conception, AI has two faces- that of the Creator and that of the Destroyer.  While some believe the emphasis on the negative side of AI is hyperbole, there are many real questions involved including:

1. What is enough AI? 

2. Can AI exert power over Humans?

3. Will AI make human work redundant?

4. Is AI detrimental to the future of human life as we know it?

5. Will AI ever be able to be compassionate and empathetic?

6. Can AI trigger cataclysmic events?

There are many other questions as well.  In this panel, we'll discuss the possible perils of AI and Quantum Computing while offering frameworks for "how" to think about the questions and even tips on how to minimize the risk of disaster.
