A Time to Break Silence: Global Treaty to Pause AI
Free virtual event with music and educational talks. 
Sunday, November 15th at 7pm EST 

 Prominent AI professor David Krueger will speak about the risk of artificial superintelligence leading to the extinction or disempowerment of humanity and how to enforce an international treaty to ban superintelligence. He will also speak about the non-profit he founded called Evitable, whose mission is to inform and organize the public to confront societal-scale risks of AI and put an end to the reckless race to develop superintelligence. Alvaro Cuba, Associate Director of the non-profit PauseAI US, will speak about demanding a pause to the development of frontier AI to give society time to catch up, ensure the technology can be built safely (if at all), and democratically decide its future. He will also speak about how PauseAI US organizes local groups across the country meet with lawmakers, holds public protests and tabling events, and engages the media to warn the public about the dangers of advanced AI. We will show video clips of how AI was used by militaries to target civilians in Gaza, Iran and Ukraine. There will also be video clips on the work of AI researcher Cameron Berg investigating whether AI might already be conscious, as well as video clips on how AI could lead to a dystopian totalitarian society. And there will also be music! We will be showing scenes from the opera adaptation of Orwell's novel 1984 composed by Lorin Maazel with stage directing by Dietlinde Turban. The event will be emceed by Orson Maazel and the event's technical director is Kelley Lane. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A. We hope you can join us for this free event!
