Munk Dialogue on AI
Munk Dialogue on AI
Be it resolved, AI research and development poses an existential threat.
On June 22nd we gathered at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall for a live, sold out debate on Artificial Intelligence. We were joined on stage by four AI experts and pioneers to debate the resolution, be it resolved, AI research and development poses an existential threat. MIT’s Max Tegmark and Mila’s Yoshua Bengio argued in favour of the resolution, while Meta’s Yann LeCun and the Santa Fe Institute’s Melanie Mitchell argued against it.
In this episode of the Munk Dialogues, we bring you the pre-interviews our host Rudyard Griffiths conducted with each debater prior to the debate. How did they intend to argue their case? What made them want to take part in this event? And what is it about AI that has them most worried, or conversely, most excited?
