PauseAI NYC | April Gen. Meeting

​As New Yorkers we have more power to steer AI than most.​​

​This monthly general meeting of PauseAI NYC will consist of:

• ​​​Monthly AI news

• ​​​Community discussion

• ​​​Project updates:

  • ​​Outreach

  • ​​​Public Education

  • ​​​Legislative Support​

​No AI background required, as always.

​Special Guest!

​We are pleased to welcome David Siffert, Legal Director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.) and Adjunct Professor at NYU Law, to discuss AI policy and oversight. David has litigated against the use of AI-driven surveillance in New York City and contributed to the RAISE Act.

​We propose that a 2-month, 10-man study of artificial intelligence be carried out during the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The study is to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves. We think that a significant advance can be made in one or more of these problems if a carefully selected group of scientists work on it together for a summer.
