Welcome!
Khullani and Ibraheem are excited to invite you to our first discussion on the intersection of AI, Ethics, and Philosophy.
We will discuss why this framing is essential and use a real-world example of the future of fertility and AI genetic editing to inform our conversation.
Agenda:
5:30 pm - Arrival and Networking
6:00 pm - Introduction to Philosophy
6:20 pm - Scenario: AI & Genetic Augmentation. Rapid advancements in genetic modification will only accelerate with AI. Soon, parents and societies must decide whether and to what extent they can enhance their children. Where do you fit in that debate? Do you think it is or is not ethical to have a human child that is not genetically modified when that capability exists, and AI tools can build an optimized child?
7:00 pm - Open dialogue and networking
8:00 pm - End of Event
This is the first in a series designed to continue the conversation with leaders on the open-ended questions of what it means to be human in a future where Artificial General Intelligence may become commonplace.
Light refreshments will be provided.
PRE-READING MATERIAL WILL BE EMAILED
