Karen Hao in Conversation with Patrick Hynes | Empire of AI
The rapid ascent of OpenAI has been central in showcasing the disruptive power of artificial intelligence to the public.
In this seminar, moderator Patrick Hynes and award-winning AI journalist Karen Hao will discuss her new book Empire of AI, explore the breakneck rise of OpenAI, and examine the industry’s broader ambitions. Join for this thought-provoking conversation about the past, present, and future of AI—what’s at stake, who stands to gain, and who is being left behind.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in many domains, relying on them for direct policy generation in games often results in illegal moves and poor strategic play.

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.
