I already posted this in the post about EAG sessions about AI, but I’m reposting it since I think it’s extremely important.
What is the topic of the session?
Suffering risks, also known as S-risks
Who would you like to give the session?
Possible speakers could be Brian Tomasik, Tobias Baumann, Magnus Vinding, Daniel Kokotajlo, or Jesse Cliton, among others.
What is the format of the talk?
The speaker would discuss some of the different scenarios in which astronomical suffering on a cosmic scale could emerge, such as risks from malevolent actors, a near-miss in AI alignment, and suffering-spreading space colonization. They would then discuss possible strategies for reducing S-risks, and some of the open questions related to S-risks and how to prevent them.
Why is it important?
So that worse that death scenarios can be avoided if possible.
