About us
This group is for anyone interested in discussing the potential societal effects of artificial intelligence. Our mission is to raise awareness and provide a space for the discussion of the development of beneficial AI in a Swedish context. Whether you are a researcher, developer, policymaker, or are simply curious about the implications of AI, you are welcome to participate.
We host events every other Wednesday evening. Our events span a range of formats and topics, including discussions, lectures, and debates, and cover everything from technical and philosophical topics to political and societal impacts. We also host more casual social events where you can get know others in the area who want to better understand the huge potential impacts of this technology.
We're new to Meetup but have been around for a few years elsewhere. We hope to see you at an upcoming event!

[Reading Group] AI 2040 – A concrete plan for a positive AI future
EA Sweden, Sveavägen 76, Stockholm, SEYou may have heard of the AI 2027 prediction, released last year by a team of forecasters (The AI Futures Project). In the year since, they have written a new document, this time outlining a positive vision for how humanity can handle the development of AI well, a Plan A.
After discussing a real example of powerful AI systems not behaving as we want them to at our last event, this discussion will instead focus on what steps we can and should take now to make the systems of tomorrow controllable and aligned with human values.
