Lund AI Safety, pre(lol👀)-kick-off

Hello everyone! I'm excited to connect with others interested in AI Safety. Whether you believe we’re facing challenges or are just curious to learn, come join the conversation! 😊 This gathering will also serve as a practice run for a larger event I'll be hosting soon for EA Lund.

Agenda:

• 00-15: Meet & Greet
• 15-45: Presentation on recent news in AI Safety
• 45-100: Open discussion on various topics!
• 100-120: Ideas for future meetups & wrap-up

A little disclaimer 🫢: This is my first event in Lund, and it's a bit casual — I promise a more polished experience next time.

What is AI Safety?

We’re experiencing a transformative era akin to the Industrial Revolution — but this time, machines are not just enhancing physical tasks; they aim to replicate our cognitive abilities.

This meetup is for those in Lund who seek to engage seriously with the topic of AI safety. We’ll discuss how advanced AI systems may affect our society, workplaces, power dynamics, and long-term human welfare — and explore ways to ensure their positive development.

Expect an informal, discussion-driven atmosphere where we’ll explore current AI systems, potential near-future risks, ethical considerations, governance issues, and technical safety solutions. Our focus will be on critical thinking rather than hype or fear.

You don’t need to be an AI expert to join! Students, researchers, professionals, and the naturally curious are all welcome. If you wish to deepen your understanding of AI beyond the headlines and engage with like-minded individuals, this meetup is for you! Fun and a friendly ambiance are guaranteed! 🎉
