Artificial Intelligence: the Risks, Benefits and Challenges

Farnham Maltings, (Barley Room) – Bridge Square, Farnham GU9 7QR (Satnav for the carpark: GU9 7QN)

FREE PUBLIC talk and discussion

Speakers: David Wood, Chair London Futurists Daniel Dancey, IT Engineer and AI speaker

Farnham Humanists have secured the insights of some AI experts to steer us all, as members of the public – no doubt interested, but uninitiated, as yet – towards thinking hard, about how to think about AI and AGI – and hopefully galvanising us out of the equally unattractive extremes of scaremongering, paralysis or complacency.

We’re not the only ones with concerns: having set aside a £100m fund for safe development of AI models in the UK, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and other world leaders will discuss the possibilities and risks posed by AI at an event in November, covering a dozen challenges, including bias, privacy, misrepresentation, transparency, copyright and employment.

Do come and join in the discussion. All are welcome!

Refreshments available.

Collection for a tech-related international charity at the end.
