About the Event
Artificial General Intelligence: Have We Opened Pandora's Box?Â
The stunning advances in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) of the past three months have taken the world by storm, as if we have leapt into the future in just a few months; customer service, medicine, coding, media, interpretation of results is all set to change.
Yet, AGI's broader implications remain uncertain. We have had limited debates on possible impacts of the technology.
Though there is a huge potential for upside, the downside risk - the machines taking over - is uncapped - think the Matrix, or worse!
Join Diplosphere's discussion as we delve into the social, economic, and human issues of this brave new world.
