AGI: Navigating the Risks and Realities with Open Tools

Rejected

Session Description

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has captivated imaginations and sparked heated debates. As we move closer to developing machines that could rival human cognition, questions about its safety and ethical implications loom large.

In this session, we’ll explore:

The Science Behind AGI: Understanding what AGI is and how it differs from current AI technologies.

Ethical Challenges and Societal Impact: Examining the potential disruptions AGI could bring to jobs, privacy, and decision-making.

The Risks – Real or Hyped? Separating genuine concerns from speculative fears.

The Role of Open-Source Tools: How open-source platforms like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face are democratizing AI development, and their impact on AGI’s evolution.

Collaborative Governance: Discussing how transparency and community-driven innovation can help mitigate risks associated with AGI development.

Join us for a balanced and thought-provoking conversation about the opportunities and challenges AGI presents, and learn how open-source tools play a pivotal role in shaping its development responsibly.

Mahi Srivastava Software Engineer | Hexaware Technologies LTD.

On a mission to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world impact. With a passion for all things AI, machine learning, and data science, I thrive on solving big, messy problems with innovative solutions. Python, C, Java, and a toolbox full of algorithms? That’s my playground. From deciphering massive datasets to crafting game-changing models, I’ve got it covered.

But wait—there’s more! I’m not just about crunching numbers and training models. I’m also a UI/UX design enthusiast, blending creativity with functionality to craft user-friendly interfaces that bring technology closer to people.

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—the opportunities, the risks, and, yes, the controversies. Whether I’m debating the future of AGI on stage or brainstorming ideas for responsible AI development, I’m here to spark conversations that matter.

Fueled by curiosity and a love for learning, I’m excited to be part of the revolution shaping tomorrow’s tech—because the future is too exciting to sit on the sidelines.
