Jared Moore | The Realities and Illusions of AI
What happens when artificial intelligence clashes with human stupidity?
In his recent satirical novel, The Strength of the Illusion, Jared Moore explores this question, expounding on the values in AI. Starting with a short reading of his book, Jared will launch into a broader conversation about the capabilities of current language models, with connections to issues such as morality, consciousness, and the money behind the science. Copies of his book will be available for purchase, and he will also stay after the seminar to sign books.

Arvind Narayanan | Adapting to the Transformation of Knowledge Work
The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.
