September 15 at 16:00 BST, MIT Technology Review will stream a live discussion examining whether fears that advanced AI could destroy humanity are credible or overblown.
Niall Firth will lead the conversation with senior AI editor Will Douglas Heaven and AI reporter Grace Huckins, focusing on where extinction-risk claims come from and what responses might be warranted.
The event is framed by warnings from employees at leading AI labs who say advanced AI poses a real possibility of human extinction.
MIT Technology Review links the discussion to broader AI-safety concerns it has recently covered, including model vulnerabilities, hiring bias, reward hacking, and limits on recursive self-improvement.
