Join us for the next EA Hamburg talk & discussion by Sören Klinger:
An amazing future with all sentient beings flourishing is most certainly worth aiming for. But we might also want to ask: What could go wrong? As an alternative to the complete annihilation of Earth-originating sentience, worst-case future scenarios could also contain vast amounts of suffering unheard of in history. How could they come about and what can we do to prevent them?
Transformative technologies like advanced AI have immense potential to shape the trajectory of our civilisation as have the values and institutions of society at large. Which interventions are robustly positive with regard to avoiding dystopian outcomes and how much should we prioritise them? Let’s discuss it!
📍We’ll meet at Bucerius law school in room 0.01 at 19:00.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Please drop us a line below (or via pm or via hamburg@effektiveraltruismus.de) if you want to participate and have not been in contact with us before.
