Reflections on the AI Safety Debate - Tiberio Caetano, Gradient Institute

Reflections on the AI Safety Debate: Towards Diagnostics and Solutions
Outline:
In this talk Tiberio will dive into a few aspects of the AI Safety debate. He will touch on the concern that AI may pose an extinction risk for humanity. He will also address concerns about labour market disruptions, in particular when it comes to the practice of data science. He will also touch on what AI Safety could mean for most companies (whose core business is other than building large language models). The perspective offered will attempt at identifying elements of both diagnostics and potential solutions.
