President George Tilesch hosted a 2-hour TV show with Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, AI Prof. Stuart Russell (Author of Human Compatible), Brain Prize winner Prof. Gyorgy Buzsaki and AImotive CEO Laszlo Kishonti on the present and future of AI. This was the first time these great scientists and applied AI experts were gathered around the virtual roundtable to guide citizens through the present and the future of AI. Tens of thousands were watching live as the participants were debating 6 key aspects of human-compatible AI development and impact.
A lasting success
As part of the interactive talk, the experts have covered AI definitions; our Moment in Time in AI evolution; Applied AI in all fields of life, and what can AI do for us now. Then they took a walk on the dark side, talking AI Threats and Challenges and how to overcome them, then segued to Intelligence Explosion and how can we humans cope and maintain control. The symposium closed with an envisioning exercise on how to optimize our human future in an AI world.
