🌍 AI Governance Club
As agentic AI outpaces human oversight, hidden systemic risk accumulates between what is measured and what is intended, pulling the economy toward growth on paper and decay in practice.
Join the AI Governance Club for Session 25, where we discuss:
Some Simple Economics of AGI by Christian Catalini et al.
(Sections 1, 7, 8.4, and 9)
Without liability regimes, shared verification infrastructure, and international coordination, safe AI scaling will be outcompeted by reckless deployment. This paper makes the governance stakes impossible to ignore.
Presenter: Tim Durgin
Format: Presentation + Open Moderated Discussion
