DESCRIPTION:Over the course of this workshop\, we&#39;ll explore:\n\n- Superint
 elligence: What it means for an AI system to surpass human intelligence ac
 ross domains\, and how this differs from today&#39;s AI.\n- Power and Control:
  Why advanced AI could wield enormous economic\, political\, and strategic
  influence.\n- Misalignment risks: How systems pursuing the wrong objectiv
 es could cause harm even without malicious intent.\n- Societal Choices: Ho
 w decisions made today may shape weather AI becomes a tool we controls or 
 a force we struggle to contain.\n\nThis workshop is for:\n\n- A clear\, no
 n-technical introduction to core ideas from AI safety and existential risk
 s.\n- Live demonstrations of current AI capabilities\, to ground abstract 
 concerns in real systems.\n- Small-group discussions and thought experimen
 ts that connect AI risks to everyday life\, institutions\, and incentives.
 \n- A better mental model for evaluating headlines\, hype\, and claims abo
 ut AI progress.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Kilian\n\nAgenda: \nTopics Explored\n\n-
  What is AI / AGI / ASI\n- History &amp; Progress\n- The Path to AGI\n- Risks 
 &amp; Benifits\n- Instrumental Convergance\n- Self Preservation &amp; Goal Preserv
