The Future of Intelligence: Are We Ready for AGI?
Imagine a world where machines don’t just assist us—they rival or even surpass human intelligence.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) isn’t just a futuristic fantasy; some experts believe it could become reality in the next 2-5 years. This seismic shift would redefine industries, economies, and even the fabric of human existence itself. Will AGI be humanity’s greatest ally, or its ultimate disruption? Join us for a provocative discussion as leading thinkers unpack the thrilling possibilities—and the existential risks—of machines that can think, learn, and innovate just like us… or better.
Speakers:
Tim Lockie, Founder, The Human Stack
Sarah Myers West, Co-director, AI Now
John Sheppard, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, Montana State University
Charlie Warzel, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
