AI Salon with John-Clark Levin

Please RSVP at https://luma.com/056kdakp Join us for a salon-style discussion with John-Clark Levin, who has been research lead for the futurist Ray Kurzweil for over ten years. Recently he has been engaging Catholic leadership on AI issues. He is visiting town from Los Angeles. We'll start with a 15 minute monologue from John-Clark and then move to Q&A and discussion. Questions we may discuss with John-Clark: * What are the most interesting things you learned while working with Ray? * Do you think Ray's predictions are holding true? * What have you done to do outreach to the Vatican and the Catholic community to get them involved in the AI discourse? * What is the view of Catholic leadership regarding AI? What concerns do they have? * Where do you sit on the "accel vs decel" spectrum, has your position on that spectrum changed over the last ten years, and how do you decide where you stand? * Is there an AI bubble? ​ ​Co-hosted by Dan Elton of the Metascience Observatory and Steven Wardell of What Comes Next and the DigitalHealth InvestorTalk Show. ​ ​Held in the Basement Auditorium of the Cambridge Public Library (main branch). Paid parking is available in the Cambridge Public Library's underground garage.
