'Provably Beneficial AI', Bodleian Library (co-sponsored with the Oxford Institute for Ethics and AI)


Registration will be open soon.

In 1951, Alan Turing predicted the eventual loss of human control over machines that exceed human capabilities. I will argue that Turing was right to express concern but wrong to think that doom is inevitable. Instead, we need to develop a new kind of AI that is provably beneficial to humans. I will describe an approach — assistance games — that seems promising. On the horizon, however, are a number of open questions, some of them familiar to moral philosophers and government regulators and some of them new.

A joint event with the Philosophy, Law & Politics Colloquium Series, funded by the Hewlett Foundation and the Institute for Ethics in AI Colloquium Series.
