When artificial intelligence exceeds human thinking in all categories of reasoning and understanding, what conclusions will it reach about the future of ethics? Will such systems – AGIs – take greater care of us humans, than the regard we show to rodents? To what extent can design choices made by human developers influence the decisions that AGIs will take? Or is any such discussion premature or misguided, given apparently more pressing problems facing human civilisation as 2023 approaches?

David Wood, Co-Chair of the UK Node of The Millennium Project with London Futurists, will host an online discussion about “AGI and the future of ethics” on December 17, 2022, 5:00 PM CET.

This open discussion will feature the ideas of Daniel Faggella, the founder and CEO of Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research. The event will also feature comments and feedback from Rohit Talwar, Co-Chair of the UK Node of The Millennium Project with Fast Future, and Bronwyn Williams, Foresight Lead at Flux Trends.
