The question is no longer whether Artificial General Intelligence will arrive, but whether we are building it safely and if our institutions possess the governance frameworks to match the pace of change. This coming Tuesday, April 21, at 18:30 CET (17:30 UK), global experts and industry professionals will gather online for a 90-minute session titled “Beyond the Hype: Ensuring Safe and Responsible AGI.” This event exists because these questions deserve more than a headline; they require a serious, informed, and honest conversation with those who have spent decades analyzing the future.
This session is designed as a structured, expert-led dialogue rather than a standard lecture. The first part features a focused presentation on real-world risks and the architecture of responsible development, followed by an hour of plenary discussion. In this format, questions from the audience are the priority, fostering collective sensemaking rather than a one-way broadcast. The dialogue will explore why guardrails are not optional and what each of us, as professionals and citizens, should do to ensure global alignment.
The panel brings together extraordinary depth from The Millennium Project, the leading global futures research think tank. Jerome Glenn, CEO of the project and a world-renowned authority on strategic thinking, will be joined by David Wood, a respected voice at the intersection of technology and ethics and Co-Chair of the UK Node of The Millennium Project. The conversation will be moderated by Paul Epping, Founder of Tetra Awake and Chair of the Netherlands Node of The Millennium Project, while the event is hosted by Chris Parker, Founder of Ebullient and co-author of the upcoming AI governance handbook INFUSED.
This event is essential for AI researchers, business leaders, policymakers, and any professional who believes the future of AI is a shared responsibility. The development of AGI is not being shaped by a distant elite in a closed room, but by the collective awareness and demands of people like you.
Registration is free and currently open. If you work in technology, strategy, or governance and have not yet registered, now is the time to join a conversation that truly cannot wait.
