Ai Salon: Power [SF]
The age of AI is redefining dynamics of power—shifting influence to tech oligarchs, contributing to the rise of some nations over others, and reshaping our own feelings of empowerment.
As we strive towards ever more powerful AI, it becomes essential to consider: will the power of the technology, its systems and the individuals who lead them impact our personal senses of empowerment?
This conversation will explore how AI is contributing to shifting power dynamics - in our country, across the world, and within ourselves. Join to discuss:
The centralization of power in AI development among a small group of tech companies and their leaders, examining how this centralization of power could impact our society
The psychological impact of AI on personal agency - exploring how algorithmic decision-making and AI-driven platforms shape our choices, beliefs, and sense of control
What the global competition between nations for AI dominance means for the future balance of world power
How we can build a relationship to AI that supports human empowerment in an AI-driven world
