  • Regulating Catastrophic AI Risk Through Liability Insurance

    Tuesday, January 27 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

    Kathrin Gardhouse presents her draft paper on how liability insurance could function as a form of private regulation for frontier AI, translating catastrophic risk into enforceable safety standards rather than box-ticking compliance. The talk outlines a proposed “minimum insurability pathway” for AI developers and explores whether and how a narrow, restrictive insurance mandate could meaningfully reduce catastrophic AI risks while complementing public regulation.

  • AI Safety Thursdays: Advanced AI's Impact on Power and Society

    ​Thursday, May 29th, 6pm-8pm

    Historically, significant technological shifts often coincide with political instability, and sometimes violent transfers of power. Should we expect AI to follow this pattern, or are there reasons to hope for a smooth transition to the post AI world?

    ​Anson Ho drew upon economic models, broad historical trends, and recent developments in deep learning to guide us through an exploration of this question.
