#AISummitTalks II featuring Professor Stuart Russell - Wilton Hall, Bletchley, Tuesday 31 October, 14:00 to 15:30 GMT - Register here!
For the second edition of our AI Summit Talks series about AI x-risk, we will meet just outside of the famous Bletchley Park on the eve of the #AISafetySummit. At the AI Safety Summit, world leaders will discuss for the first time how to prevent human extinction by AI. Society unfortunately will not have a say in these discussions, since only 150 people are invited. But at our AI Safety Summit Talks, organized together with Conjecture, you can be a part of this discussion!

You will be joined by Existential Risk Observatory and Conjecture, who will host a keynote speech by none other than Prof. Stuart Russell (UC Berkeley), followed by a talk by Conjecture's Connor Leahy, among others. The event will be finalised by a panel discussion that brings together Andrea Miotti (Head of Strategy and Governance, Conjecture), as well as leading voices from the societal debate and the political realm, including investor Jaan Tallinn (Co-founder Centre for the Study of Existential Risk - CSER), Annika Brack (CEO The International Center for Future Generations - ICFG), Mark Brakel (Director of Policy, Future of Life Institute - FLI), Alexandra Mousavizadeh (Economist, CEO, Evident), Hal Hodson (Journalist The Economist), and a mystery guest! Moderator of the afternoon will be David Wood, chair of the London Futurists.

Thank you all for joining us on the 10th. What a stimulating evening with a scary yet hopeful message it was, at Conway Hall!
AI Summit Talks: Navigating Existential Risk was attended by over 250 people, with great engagement from the crowd. Given the amount of questions, we are sure we won't run out of things to talk about at our next event! Couldn't make it? You will find the recording here:
As one visitor noted:
Fascinating although pessimistic arguments at #AISummitTalks (…) we're in a double exponential AI scaling race, driven by a small band of reckless labs, and there are no known ways to control their creations. The good news is that there's a passionate community of people working on this, and governments are listening. But maybe we need to rebrand AI safety... I wonder if we can recruit more people to the effort with goals beyond 'delaying', 'regulating' or 'controlling'... maybe building a new improved Internet for this new age?
