SUMMARY:AI and the Landscape of Value
DESCRIPTION:Futurologist Adam Ford will present an understanding of V-risk – the danger of value misalignment – and examine why controlling AI’s capabilities isn’t enough. He’ll look at how premature goal lock-in, shallow understandings of value, and human misuse of powerful AI could lead to nasty outcomes that are so-called ‘safe’ in theory but catastrophic in implementation.\nDid you know there are 3 phases of AI value understanding, each with differing levels of sophistication and varying potential for outcomes that place human welfare at risk? Neither did I, and that’s just one aspect of understanding V-risk.\nAdam Ford MS.IT RMIT, futurologist, IEET Affiliate Scholar – works as a data architect/engineer/analyst and programmer. He is a grass roots journalist, has interviewed a huge amount of experts on the future – and is currently working on a documentary project focussing on preparing for the future of artificial intelligence – the Singularity.\nCome along to the Function Room at The Stolberg Hotel, 197 Plenty Road Preston and join us for a meal and conversation from 6.00 PM onwards. The talk starts at 7.30 PM and lasts about an hour. Bell St. train station on the Epping line and the 86 tram route are close. Bell St. buses stop right outside.\nCatch us via Zoom at 7.30 at https://zoom.us/j/95836417359?pwd=N3B3b2tQcjQyQ1VBMFQ0c1NSTWRFZz09 ( https://zoom.us/j/95836417359?pwd=N3B3b2tQcjQyQ1VBMFQ0c1NSTWRFZz09 )\nZoom Meeting ID: 958 3641 7359\nPasscode: 704370\n \n
