AI Reading Club: Letter from Utopia
Details
At our second meeting, we discussed Eliezer Yudkowsky's book, "If anyone builds it, everyone dies". So this time, something optimistic is needed :)
Let's dive into different utopian versions of our world with AGI. The texts below are just suggestions; pick one or read something different. The more colorful utopias, the better the discussion.
- Nick Bostrom: Letter from Utopia (or read the whole "Deep Utopia" book, if you feel like it).
- Dario Amodei: Machines of Loving Grace
- Isaac Asimov: The Last Question
- Iain Banks: Culture series
- TBD (suggestions welcome!)
No academic background is required, just a willingness to read, think, and share your thoughts. But please, read the text in advance and be ready to share its main ideas :)
The session will be discussion-based, lightly moderated, and limited to a small group to allow for real conversation.
I look forward to what the third AI reading club session brings!
