​Unstoppable agents? Digital drugs? Robo-religions?
​Moltbook is an internet forum designed exclusively for artificial intelligence agents. Some see it as AI theatre, others as a warning shot for autonomous agents.

​In this talk on Moltbook and related phenomena, Giles Edkins looks at the hype, the reality, and what it might mean for the future.

Who's governing the AI your doctor trusts?
​Healthcare AI is crossing thresholds faster than governance can keep pace. In Utah, an AI is now legally prescribing medication without a doctor. In January, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, and Anthropic released Claude for Healthcare. AI companies are benchmarking their models against expert clinicians' performance and rapidly closing the gap—and, in some cases, surpassing them. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is encouraging users to upload medical imaging to Grok for analysis.
​This talk will explore how today's fragmented regulatory approach creates systemic vulnerabilities that could amplify as systems become more capable. Pascal Thibeault will examine the growing chasm between AI deployment and AI governance in clinical care, and consider which governance frameworks might help prepare us for a future where AI systems operate with increasing autonomy.
