This track is tailored to connect thinkers, builders, researchers, and enthusiasts to discuss important issues, new frontiers in AI, and other technology developments.
Discover opportunities and problems in the Defensive Acceleration of AI, particularly open-source and decentralized technologies. We view the open-source and decentralized acceleration of AI as the best way to ensure AI safety and avoid the most dangerous risks associated with the centralization of this powerful technology. Therefore, we aim to explore the current progress and challenges of open-source and decentralized AI technologies and their part in the global picture.
Discussing Potential Jurisdictions for AI Progress
The development of AI technologies is a major focus, with substantial resources being dedicated to it. The potential outcomes of AI, both positive and negative, are vast and significant. In response to these advancements, governments worldwide are establishing regulations, such as the EU AI Act, California's AI regulation, and China's national AI law.
These regulations highlight varying trends related to the centralization of power, the speed of progress, the impact of regulatory barriers, and the pursuit of safe AI development. This raises several intriguing questions:
This track aims to explore these questions and seek answers to them.
Explore risks to humanity (like existential risks, global catastrophic risks) and how we can use technology to mitigate these risks and also how to safely build technology that will ensure humanity can not only survive but thrive.
Connect minds, foster education, ignite discussions, and catalyze useful projects.
