Braver Angels Film Club: "Risks & Benefits of AI"

Film Club Topic:
We choose films that address social, political or cultural issues that are relevant to society today. They may highlight liberal-leaning, conservative-leaning or independent themes, or feature actors or directors from opposite sides of the political spectrum. Note that the discussion of this film and its inclusion on the Braver Angels website does not imply promotion of the subject matter or the persons involved in the creation of the film.

Can we clearly see the risks and benefits of AI or are we too divided?

At this event, the Braver Angels Film Club invites you to delve into the exciting, dismaying, confusing world of Artificial Intelligence or AI with a broad collection of videos on the topic. First is a collection of reports on AI by CBS News' 60 Minutes (about an hour and 20 minutes). Next is an interview of the "godfather of AI", Geoffrey Hinton (about 13 minutes). Finally is a BBC story of a study on how AI might destroy humanity (about 8 minutes). Are we seeing the same risks and opportunities of AI, or are we too divided to respond effectively to this?

Watch these videos on your own and later join us on February 11 at 8p ET to discuss this important subject.
