DeutschLet’s talk about AI Safety!
AI is the fastest developing technology humanity has ever built. Let us try to understand how it works, how it can affect our lives in order to implement safeguards and prevent harmful events from happening. Let’s do a better job than the guys who brought us the industrial revolution.
The events we organize
- teach the basics and open the room for discussing all the uncertainties and insecurities
- build a community of people who want to get a deep understanding of the field of AI safety
- support you to pivot your career towards AI Safety.
And by the way, we solemnly swear that snacks will be provided!
Our next events
Event types
Mondays 18:00 | Maria-von-Linden-Str. 1, room 4.01 | in English
Join us as we grab dinner and chat about a recently published paper. Some papers require you to have an understanding of machine learning, others do not. Check the paper beforehand. When in doubt – reach out to us or be brave and just come by!
Room TBA | in German
Over the course of three weeks we will learn the fundamentals of: how an AI works – what happens during your interaction with it – what it can and can’t do – in which ways it carries risks – what we can do about them. No technical background required!
Starting in the week of 23 November | Wilhelmstr. 22, first floor | in German
Join us as we grab dinner and check out different proposals on how to govern AI – the position of middle powers – international treaties – legal challenges and so on. No previous knowledge required. The reading list is not set in stone – tell us what you would like to learn about!
Conferences, application-thons, public viewings, discussion panels and so on…
