Planning a career in the age of A(G)I - w Luke Drago & Josh Landes
Worried about AI taking your job? Afraid the corporate ladder is closing behind you? Join us for a virtual discussion on how to plan your career in the age of AI.
We'll discuss:
What kinds of jobs might be relevant if AI replaces lots of jobs
What jobs you shouldn't take in light of AI
How AI might alter the social contract between regular people and governments
What technology we can build to save people's jobs
Why governments and private actors are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build AGI, defined by OpenAI as a system that could "outperform humans at most economically valuable work."
What an AI safety career might look like and how you can start pursuing one today
ABOUT THE HOSTS
Luke Drago led the design and implementation of the AI economics curriculum at BlueDot Impact, the world's largest AI safety training platform. He was previously on the leadership team of Encode, where he co-authored AI 2030 — an AI policy platform whose economics section was endorsed by Nobel Prize winner Daron Acemoglu. His blog post "Now is the Time for Moonshots" argues that college students should pass on traditional prestige paths in light of AI's potentially transformative impact. He writes about AI's economic impacts on his Substack. He left his recent role to focus full-time on how to keep people relevant post-AGI.
Josh Landes works on a little bit of everything at BlueDot Impact. He runs the AI Safety Fundamentals community and ran the most recent edition of BlueDot's AI Governance course. He also runs AISF's internal career advice/accelerator program where he has helped more than 50 people land jobs in AI safety. Before that he worked as a course facilitator and on various political campaigns in Germany.
