Special Session: Social Impact of AI – future of AI and society, ethics
【Day 2-5】Safety and Benefits in the Long Term
AI safety: what, why and how?
What is AI safety, why think about it, and how can we build safe AI? In this talk, we will step away from science fiction scenarios towards real problems that need to be solved – teaching artificial agents about core human values and giving them good incentives to follow those values. We will discuss the history of the AI safety field, the current state of research, the key problems we are working on, and how you can contribute.
