Registration (IMPORTANT, MUST READ BEFORE RSVP'ING)
To participate in this event, you must register on the Apart Research event page. Be sure to set Toronto as your location to get connected with our local team.
It is also strongly recommended that you register at least a week in advance so you have time to participate in the brainstorming sessions that Apart Research guides participants through. This allows you to show up on Saturday morning with an idea and teammates already in place.
Happy hacking!
- AI Safety Thursdays: The Intelligence Curse30 Adelaide East, Industrious Office 12th Floor Common Area, Toronto, ON
Description
As AI approaches human-level capabilities, Mario Gibney explores "The Intelligence Curse"—how automation could make human labor obsolete and break the social contract between powerful actors and regular people. We'll explore possible strategies for building AI that augments rather than replaces humans, ensuring people remain relevant in the intelligence age.
