Discussion Night: AI Issues, Policy, & Potential Pause

Radius has historically supported MIT students’ ethical self-reflection, partnering over the decades with groups like Science for the People and MIT Students Against War. We are now pleased to support a new initiative called the AI Pause Coalition, which is petitioning for recognition as a student organization and whose leaders are actively involved in Radius programming. Do you have concerns about the speed of AI development? Are you concerned about the environmental footprint, the privacy and surveillance implications, concentration of power, or risks of catastrophic outcomes or extinction?
