AI Safety: Between AI Doomism and Tech-Utopia

An interactive workshop cutting through the noise to focus on real, actionable insights from the AI Safety community and BlueDot Impact. We’ll explore specific technical, societal, and philosophical challenges of advanced AI systems – without science fiction. Key topics: - Real risks: AI Alignment and Prompt Injection as the two most pressing technical challenges - Governance: EU AI Act vs. US vs. China – how to balance safety with innovation? - Socio-technical focus: Autonomous systems, human control, and misuse potential through intelligent automation Goal: Give you tools to assess AI risks yourself – not pre-made opinions, but frameworks to evaluate how plausible different risks are and which governance approaches could address them. Expect an empirical, differentiated discussion between fear and optimism, with space for open debate and diverse perspectives.
