Introduction to AI X-risks
About Event
How could advanced AI pose an existential risk—and what could we do about it?
Join Mercial for an introduction to the risks from powerful AI systems. We’ll explore misuse, misalignment and multi-agent risks, followed by questions and small-group discussion.
Whether you’re new to AI safety or already interested in the field, come along to learn, share your perspective and meet others. No prior knowledge is needed.
Free food and drinks provided.
