What we’re about
Welcome to The Alignment Meetup!
This group is dedicated to exploring all things related to the "Alignment Problem" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alignment_Problem) in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning systems. Some experts consider this to be one of the most concerning problems facing humanity (https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/artificial-intelligence/). Others are concerned about the rapid advances in AI and possible development of AGI (artificial general intelligence) that may not be "aligned" with human values.
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this meetup aims to help you deepening your understanding and engaging in stimulating discussions with like-minded individuals.
Join us as we delve into and explore the aspects of aligning artificially intelligent systems and share insights, exchange ideas, and inspire one another.
Let's connect, learn, and shape the future together!
