Doom or Boom: Where Do You Stand on AGI?
Will artificial general intelligence (AGI) be humanity’s biggest breakthrough, or our biggest and potentially final regret as a species?
The predictions on AGI range dramatically; from the imminent arrival of a disruptive, paradigm-shifting intelligence that will rewrite the rules of our economy and transform our global society, to accusations of hype bubble driven wishful thinking. Instead of pretending there is a neat answer, we are bringing both sides into the room.
Join Stellar Capacity during Nordic Tech Week for an examination of the opposing perspectives on AGI, followed by an interactive session where you decide where you stand on the doom to boom spectrum.
You will also have the chance to meet other people working with AI, speak with the Stellar Capacity team and recruiter, and learn more about opportunities to work with us.
What’s happening
17:00–17:45 — Pizza and mingle
Grab a slice of pizza and meet others interested in AI.
17:45–18:00 — Welcome
A short introduction from Stellar Capacity and Nordic Tech Week.
18:00–18:20 — The Case for Alarm: Are We Ready for AGI?
Claudia Olsson, Founder and CEO, Stellar Capacity
AI is advancing quickly, but are governments and organisations prepared? Claudia will explore what could go wrong, why current safeguards may not be enough, and what we should be asking now.
18:20–18:40 — The Case for the Upside: Are We Missing the Opportunity?
Peng Wu, Program Director of Research, Stellar Capacity
AGI may be further away than some predict, while AI is already creating real benefits. Peng will explore the limits of today’s technology, the opportunities ahead, and why moving too slowly also carries risks.
18:40–19:30 — Doom or Boom: Where Do You Stand?
An interactive session led by Peng Wu
Respond to a series of bold statements, choose where you stand, and hear different perspectives from around the room.
19:30–20:30 — Networking
Continue the conversation over drinks and meet the Stellar Capacity team, our recruiter, and others working in or looking to enter the AI field.
