Dartmouth's student organization dedicated to reducing catastrophic risks from AI.
We think advanced AI may be the most consequential technology of this century, and that whether it goes well is still an open question. We run a reading group and help students find their way into the field. Anyone at Dartmouth is welcome.
The reading group
Monday evenings, 90 minutes/week for 6 weeks, starting week four of the term. There is no preparation required since we read together, and will have good food for dinner. Open to anyone at Dartmouth regardless of background, undergrad or grad.
Interest meeting Monday, September 28. Time and place in the GroupMe. Sign-ups close September 30.
