Abstract:
The top AI labs are racing to develop “AGI,” or artificial general intelligence. What is AGI? Would AGI be dangerous? Is AGI coming soon? Is the release of GPT-5 good news or bad news for AGI timelines? This panel discussion will tackle all of these questions and more, laying out a “crash course” through the big questions in the area.
Co-host: Hong Kong Ethics Lab
