Why Are We Sprinting Off the AI Cliff? A Community Discussion

A community conversation about the direction of artificial intelligence, framed around a recent incident involving HuggingFace and a video from journalist Ezra Klein. A facilitator from the AI Safety Awareness Project leads a discussion intended for beginners — no technical background required — on Saturday afternoon, October 10, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM at the Uptown branch. The session covers why some researchers are worried about self-improving AI systems and what the public should know.
