OxTalks is Changing
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
What Economists Really Do: The Political and Economic Risks of AI
The immediate risk of AI is not a sensational conflict with malevolent superintelligence and killer robots. It is the risk of AI destabilizing the current political-economic equilibrium, radically altering the balance of power in society, and tearing up the social fabric. This talk describes how such a process might unfold and proposes policies and institutions for managing the political and economic risks of AI. Competition policy emerges as a critical tool for risk management, as does strengthening democratic and egalitarian institutions. Without appropriate policies, there will be no AI-driven growth take-off and the scale of inequality that would emerge would dwarf anything experienced in the twentieth century.
