The Path towards Superintelligence


Over the course of this workshop, we'll explore: 

  • Superintelligence: What it means for an AI system to surpass human intelligence across domains, and how this differs from today's AI.
  • Power and Control: Why advanced AI could wield enormous economic, political, and strategic influence.
  • Misalignment risks: How systems pursuing the wrong objectives could cause harm even without malicious intent.
  • Societal Choices: How decisions made today may shape weather AI becomes a tool we controls or a force we struggle to contain.

This workshop is for:

  • A clear, non-technical introduction to core ideas from AI safety and existential risks.
  • Live demonstrations of current AI capabilities, to ground abstract concerns in real systems.
  • Small-group discussions and thought experiments that connect AI risks to everyday life, institutions, and incentives.
  • A better mental model for evaluating headlines, hype, and claims about AI progress.
