Science x AI Safety: Expecting the unexpected

25 October 2023 18:30 - 21:00 The Royal Society Free

This panel discussion event will be exploring the varied risks for science and society associated with the development of advanced artificial intelligence. 

Alongside the opportunities presented by AI, numerous risks have captured public attention from privacy concerns to research integrity, and the potential of an ‘existential threat’. This event will bring together expert voices to discuss the short-, medium-, and long-term risks associated with the development of advanced artificial intelligence. Being held a week before the Global AI Safety Summit, the panel will discuss what they consider to be key AI safety risks which should be prioritised by policymakers, the scientific community, and the general public. 

This event is being organised independently of the UK Government and is not part of the Road to the Summit activities.
