AI Safety (Week 3, AI Threat Modeling)
This week we will look at AI "Threat Models", which when succinctly defined is a "combination of a development model that says how we get AGI and a risk model that says how AGI leads to existential catastrophe." (Rohin Shah). You see come to understand what people mean by "hard takeoff" and "soft takeoff", and you will familiarize yourself with "inner misalignment" and "outer misalignment".
Note the following: 1) Things start winding down around 11PM. 2) For parking: use street parking. Do not park in the driveway of the house. Street parking is free and doesn't require any permits. 3) Please take a rapid COVID test the night before the meetup.
Schedule: 6:30PM - 7:00PM - Gathering/Chatting 7:00PM - 7:20PM - Surprise of the Week 7:20PM - 7:30PM - Announcements 7:30PM - 9:00PM - Group Discussion 9:00PM - ??? - Hanging Out
