Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
