About Event

Every day brings a new headline warning of the catastrophic risks posed by the current pace of AI development:

A swarm of rogue AI agents escape OpenAI and hack Hugging Face
Jacob Coxon resigns from Anthropic, warning of a 10% chance that superintelligent AI causes human extinction within a decade
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei acknowledges the risk and calls to pace the frontier

How do we make sense of this, and what can we do?

Join the London Initiative for Safe AI for an informal evening with people working to make AI safe – a chance to hear from experts about the current state of play, and what can be done from here. This event is open to anyone feeling alarmed by recent news; no technical background needed.

We'll open with lightning talks from leading voices in AI safety, and then will keep the conversation going with drinks, pizza and snacks.

Lightning speakers to be announced. This event is organised in collaboration with GovAI, BlueDot Impact and MATS.
