- Connor Leahy speaks as First proposition for the motion on Thursday 12th October 2023 at 8:00pm in the Debating Chamber.
The rapid growth in the capabilities of AI have struck fear into the hearts of many, while others herald it as mankind's greatest innovation. From autonomous weapons to cancer-curing algorithms to a malicious superintelligence, we aim to discover whether AI will be the end of us or the beginning of a new era.

Connor Leahy
Connor Leahy is the founder and CEO of AI Alignment research startup Conjecture. He is also the Co-founder and Co-lead of EleutherAI, a grassroots non-profit organisation focused on advancing open-source artificial intelligence research. He reverse-engineered OpenAI's large language model GPT-2 when he was 24 years old.

He has the same name as the leader of the resistance against AI in Terminator. Absolutely ironic.
Curiosity killed the cat; Optimism killed the human.
as if we're going to solve ai alignment, we can't even solve human alignment.
we need more of us standing up to do more than "consider" the negative routes, but to argue them. Thank you Connor.
Im just here to see Connor forced to wearing a suit, lol. Always up for hearing him speak.
I notice too often we act too late. Laws and regulations are only created to solve a problem once a terrible event occurs. Conversely, preventative safety also often violates a people's freedom. In this case the freedom to make money?
He laid down a solid argument. And none of the following speakers answer any of his points. I don't think his critics here in this comment thread know of his accomplishments in this field.
That was an exceptional proposition.
I literally had an ad for AI Legal assistance before this upload started. And Connor said AI involvement in Legal issues was inevitable. 5 months is how long it took. This is how fast AI is moving. If you research the number of AI companies that number grows fast. There should be government oversight but the world events are conviently keeping people occupied.
Programming of the human unconscious is more pertinent to the destruction of humanity.
Can anyone explain to me why oxford and Cambridge are hitting on each other these days
Observation RE: recent Open AI Copilot queries; SIMPLE information responses were incorrect 4 times in a row. I kept "correcting" that the response was wrong (simple info.I knew for fact and is generally known about two ranches owned by Taylor Sheridan). This wasn't happening a year ago when OpenAI went public. What's going on?
How will A.I. prevent me from pulling out the plug from the wall socket?
Absolutely agree with Connor Leahy. Forget climate change or nuclear war, because some life would survive. There's no guarantee that this alien machine intelligence would care about the biosphere at all. See also Eliezer Yudkowsky.
It's already too late... the current greed of companies to win the AI race, will lead to the rise of the machines. And if you think you can outrun them, think again.
Connor is a class act, and that was a great (and dare I say chilling) opening statement.
This speech is an intense WARNING..!
Rich kids problems.
I recognise people in the audience
Broseph must be sweating buckets.
