AI Safety Leaders to Address Ethical Crisis and Control Challenges at TechCrunch Sessions
TechCrunch Sessions: AI will feature discussions between Artemis Seaford (Head of AI Safety at ElevenLabs) and Ion Stoica (co-founder of Databricks) about the urgent ethical challenges posed by increasingly powerful and accessible AI tools. The conversation will focus on the risks of AI deception capabilities, including deepfakes, and how to build systems that are both powerful and trustworthy.
Skynet Chance (-0.03%): The event highlights growing industry awareness of AI control and safety challenges, with dedicated safety leadership positions emerging at major AI companies. This increased focus on ethical frameworks and abuse prevention mechanisms slightly reduces the risk of uncontrolled AI development.
Skynet Date (+0 days): The emphasis on integrating safety into development cycles and cross-industry collaboration suggests a more cautious approach to AI deployment. This focus on responsible scaling and regulatory compliance may slow the pace of releasing potentially dangerous capabilities.
AGI Progress (0%): This is primarily a discussion about existing AI safety challenges rather than new technical breakthroughs. The event focuses on managing current capabilities like deepfakes rather than advancing toward AGI.
AGI Date (+0 days): Increased emphasis on safety frameworks and regulatory compliance could slow AGI development timelines. However, the impact is minimal as this represents industry discourse rather than concrete technical or regulatory barriers.
