On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The growing implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are spurring states to consider international agreements to help manage the governance of this rapidly shifting technology area. The feasibility of agreements often is dependent on their verifiability, the extent that states can determine if other parties to an agreement are complying. Join the Oxford University International Relations Society (IRSoc) and Ben Harack, lead author of a recent Oxford Martin School report on verification and international AI governance for a timely and cogent discussion.
Ben Harack is a DPhil student in International Relations at the University of Oxford’s Department of Politics and International Relations and DPhil Affiliate with the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative. Ben studies the potential for artificial intelligence to trigger a world war and how to prevent that from happening.
Previously, Ben studied semiconductor physics and then spent a decade in Silicon Valley as a software engineer.
