AI Critical Movements: Who are they? Who leads them? How do they think about the future of society and AI? What are they fighting for? How can you get involved? Should you get involved? This provocative information session features representatives from various alt/Ai moratorium and safety movement organizations. We will explore these questions plus how they feel about the future of AI globally, and how their work intersects with pro-democracy movements. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussions with attendees.
