The public workshop we held on September 7-8 as part of the ongoing GoCAS guest researcher program on existential risk exhibited many interesting talks. The talks were filmed, and we have now posted most of those videos on our own YouTube channel. They can of course be watched in any order, although to maximize the illusion of being present at the event, one might follow the list below, in which they appear in the same order as in the workshop. Enjoy!
- Anders Sandberg: Tipping points, uncertainty and systemic risks: what to do when the whole is worse than its parts?
- Karin Kuhlemann: Complexity, creeping normalcy, and conceit: Why certain catastrophic risks are sexier than others
- Phil Torres: Agential risks: Implications for existential risk reduction
- Karim Jebari: Resetting the tape of history
- Due to a technical mishap, we have no video for David Denkenberger's talk on Cost of non-sunlight dependent food for agricultural catastrophes. Try instead watching his talk Feeding everyone no matter what given at CSER in Cambridge last year, which covers much of the same ground.
- Thore Husfeldt: Plausibility and utility of apocalyptic AI scenarios
- Roman Yampolskiy: Artificial intelligence as an existential risk to humanity
- Stuart Armstrong: Practical methods to make safe AI
- Robin Hanson: Disasters in the Age of Em and after
- Katja Grace: Empirical evidence on the future of AI
