DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/gbgstats/36/
 ">Playing with fire</a>\nby Olle Häggström (Chalmers University of Techn
 ology & university of Gothenburg) as part of Gothenburg statistics seminar
 \n\nLecture held in MVL14.\n\nAbstract\nAlan Turing speculated in 1951 abo
 ut a time point in the future when machines “outstrip our feeble powers
 ” in such a way that we lose our position as the most intelligent specie
 s on the planet. Current AI trends suggest that we are rapidly approaching
  that time point. This is playing with fire\, because at such a time point
  our continued wellbeing hinges largely on what the first superintelligent
  machines are motivated to do. If their goals and values are aligned with 
 ours\, then a brilliant future awaits us\, while if not\, then most likely
  it is (in the words of OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman) “lights out for every
 one”. Making this transition go well involves considerable technological
  and societal challenges.\n
