From Theory to Practice to Policy

​​​Join Yonadav Goldwasser ​Shavit (OpenAI) and Shafi Goldwasser (UC Berkeley) for a discussion spanning theory, practice, and policy.

​​Topics we'll discuss include:

• ​​How research cultures compare across historical computer science, AI, and AI alignment

• ​​Cryptography and theoretical computer science revolutions: how they evolved into industry practice and what lessons this holds for foundational AI safety and security work

• ​​How technical innovations turn into policy debates, and what is and isn't practical for technical folks to do about it

​​​Situated in Transluce's lustrous office at the base of Telegraph Hill, enjoy a night of illuminating conversation, followed by a social in our rooftop garden (from 6:30 on).
