2.3 Reflect on any ‘extra-curricular’ events, talks, workshops, etc. that you have attended within or outside EFI so far this year and their relevance to your project

While the in-person/live events have been interesting, they don’t tend to relate directly to my project idea. Nevertheless, I’ve found a great deal of value from some pre-recorded talks and events on platforms like YouTube. Here are two of my favourites.

The AI Dilemma – Tristan Harris & Aza Raskin (Center for Humane Technology)

Delivered in San Francisco in March 2023 to influential technologists and decision-makers shaping the trajectory of large-language model AIs, this presentation explores existing catastrophic risks posed to society by AI’s capabilities. It illuminates AI companies’ rushing to deploy their products without sufficient safety measures and advocates changes to our institutions to help us navigate a post-AI world.

This insightful talk not only effectively outlines the potential dangers of AI, including ideas as extreme as potential AI “mind reading”, but also looks into the root cause of these risks, that being the “AI race”, a phenomenon intertwined with capitalist motivations.

AI Today, Tomorrow and How You Can Save Our World – Mo Gawdat

In this talk at the September 2023 Nordic Business Forum in Helsinki, Mo Gawdat discusses the current rate of advancement of AI and the potential technological innovation that will follow. Gawdat excels in conveying AI ethics concepts to the broader audience, as demonstrated in his book Scary Smart. In this talk, he elucidates the potential trajectory of AI as a technology, raises crucial ethical questions for business leaders, and underscores the individual and collective responsibilities citizens and businesses bear to ensure that AI becomes a force for positive change. This presentation provided a valuable framework for my own thoughts on the challenges posed by AI in our current economic system, effectively illustrating why the prevailing economic approach to AI must undergo reevaluation.

I look forward to attending future EFI events and to continue expanding my learning beyond my project’s focus.
