How can we stop the race to superintelligence?

Concerned about superintelligent AI? Curious to learn more? Join us for our first meeting! In May of 2023, over 500 AI researchers and leaders signed the following statement: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." Recently, experts have warned that AI capabilities could soon surpass human capabilities. ControlAI, a non-profit organization, is pushing for an international ban on superintelligent AI, with growing political support across multiple contries. The Denver ControlAI Action Group aims to discuss these risks and engage in political advocacy. In our first meeting, we will discuss the goals of ControlAI and our vision for the group. We are curious to hear your views on the topic and your ideas of how to build a community together. Come along, meet others in Denver who share your curiosity or concern, and help shape the direction of this new group. Whether you prefer to listen or join the discussion - you are welcome to contribute as much or as little as you are comfortable. No experience in AI or tech necessary!
