Computers Gone Wild: Impact and Implications of Developments in Artificial Intelligence on Society - FLI - Future of Life Institute

The second "Computers Gone Wild: Impact and Implications of Developments in Artificial Intelligence on Society" workshop took place on February 19, 2016 at Harvard Law School. Marin Solja?i?, Max Tegmark, Bruce Schneier, and Jonathan Zittrain convened this informal workshop to discuss recent advancements in artificial intelligence research. Participants represented a wide range of expertise and perspectives and discussed four main topics during the day-long event: the impact of artificial intelligence on labor and economics, algorithmic decision-making, particularly in law, autonomous weapons, and the risks of emergent human-level artificial intelligence. Each session opened with a brief overview of the existing literature related to the topic from a designated participant, followed by remarks from two or three provocateurs. The session leader then moderated a discussion with the larger group.
