This will help us determine whether the room is close to reaching capacity. We plan to serve light refreshments (proba bly pizza) before the talk startimng at around 6:30 pm. Letting us know yo u will come in person will help us determine how much pizza to order.\n\nW e may make some auxiliary material such as slides and access to the record ing available after the seminar to people who have registered.\n\nAbstract :\n\nAI and Trust: Trusting a friend and trusting a service are fundamenta lly different. The former is personal and intimate\, while the latter is i mpersonal and can scale to all of human society. The companies behind the current generative AI systems are poised to exploit that difference. Their intimate conversational nature will cause us to think of them as friends when they are actually services\, and trusted confidents when they will ac tually be working against us. Like much of the internet\, these systems wi ll collect our personal data behind our backs and try to manipulate our be havior. Enabling trust in AI systems will require two things. The first ar e foundation models that are not controlled by corporations and the profit motive. The second is government regulation of the industry. Democratic g overnance is how we create social trust in our society.\n\nBio:\n\nBruce S chneier is an internationally renowned security technologist\, called a "s ecurity guru" by the Economist. He is the New York Times best-selling auth or of 14 books -- including A Hacker's Mind -- as well as hundreds of arti cles\, essays\, and academic papers. His influential newsletter Crypto-Gra m and blog Schneier on Security are read by over 250\,000 people.
