About Event

​We'll be reading and discussing the paper: Natural Selection Favors AIs over Humans

Drawing on analogies from biology and evolution, this paper is intended for a wide audience and is a much easier read than usual - if you find the technical papers overwhelming, fret not because this reading group will be much more accessible!

It makes for a very interesting read as it lays out some of the foundational arguments for catastrophic risk from self-improving AI.

Session Structure:

  • 18:00-18:45: silent group paper reading

  • 18:45-19:30: group discussion

Location:

If the weather is nice, we'll meet at the Camps Bay tidal pool - please keep an eye out for a confirmation email from us on the day!
