As AI systems become increasingly capable, a growing ecosystem of independent research organizations is working to understand how AI can be developed safely and responsibly. This presentation introduces AI safety research organizations such as FAR.AI, METR, Redwood Research, alongside key research agendas and challenges in the field.
Whether you’re curious about emerging safety strategies or the puzzles yet to be solved, this session offers a clear and timely overview.
AI and Society Seminar Series
These seminars consider AI’s social impacts in a range of areas, and discuss how AI can best be overseen to maximise positive impacts and minimise negative ones.
They are open to anyone who is interested in attending. They don’t presuppose any technical background, if they present AI systems, they do it ‘from scratch’, in ways that should be accessible to everyone.
Discussing AI’s social impacts is a very interdisciplinary task, and their speakers and participants come from many different backgrounds, in academia, government, industry and NGOs.
