Presented by the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at Colorado Law and Silicon Flatirons.
Anthony Aguirre — Professor of Physics, UC Santa Cruz | Executive Director, Future of Life Institute
Harry Surden (Moderator) — Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School | Artificial Intelligence Initiative Director, Silicon Flatirons
Featured speaker Professor Anthony Aguirre examines the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence over the past decade. Highlighting the shift from narrow AI applications to the emergence of general-purpose AI systems that demonstrate human-level competencies across a broad spectrum of tasks, the talk sets the stage for exploring the next frontier in AI development: superhuman AI. As we stand on the cusp of creating AI that surpasses human expertise in nearly all significant cognitive domains, the presentation delves into the profound ethical considerations this leap entails. Central to the discussion are two pivotal questions: the advisability of pursuing superhuman general-purpose AI and the mechanisms to ensure that the development and deployment of such AI serve the broader public interest, transcending the narrow objectives of large tech conglomerates.
