AI Futures | Forecasting Transformative AI

How do we predict when transformative AI might arrive? An examination of data and tools, what signals to watch for, and how to think clearly about AI timelines. AI Futures Discussions Where is artificial intelligence headed, and what does it mean for our future? Join us for an engaging five-part series exploring the most important questions about AI development, from current technology to long-term impacts. Whether you're a student, professional or simply curious about how AI might shape our world, these interactive sessions will help you understand the key issues and form your own views. Each session combines clear explanations with group discussions and exercises, helping you grasp complex topics and think through their implications. We'll start by understanding today's AI technology and how it might lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI). From there, we'll explore how experts forecast AI development, why making AI systems reliably do what we want is surprisingly challenging, and how different countries and organizations are approaching AI governance. We'll examine possible futures after AGI - from solving humanity's greatest challenges to creating new ones - and finish with practical strategies for navigating an uncertain future.
