The Rise and Implications of AGI: Survey Report
Details
Earlier this year, contacts of Fast Future, London Futurists, and the UK node of the Millennium Project were invited to participate in an online survey “The Rise and Implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)”.
A total of 199 responses were received, from 42 countries spanning six continents. The results were fascinating - and provocative.
At this joint webinar, Rohit Talwar of Fast Future and David Wood of London Futurists will host a conversation about the key findings and points of agreement/disagreement arising from this survey:
- Points of contention
- Points of strong agreement
- Points of moderate agreement
- Open questions
- Plans for follow-up investigation
Topics covered will include:
- Factors influencing the emergence of AGI - when, where, and who
- Expected benefits from AGI
- Expected risks from AGI
- Options to steer or govern the rise and practice of AGI
- Implications for business, the economy, and society at large
