The Perils of Artificial Intelligence

Next meeting: Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 6:00pm-7:30pm

John Richter

AI poses significant risks of widespread job displacement, deepening socio ecnomic inequaity, facilitating malicious activities like deepfakes and automated cyberattacks, and the potential for the loss of human autonomy as society becomes increasingly dependent on opaque, unaccountable systems. That sentence was written by AI! AI is here to stay and will profoundly influence many aspects of our lives. Come to Next and learn about the risks AI poses and what could be done to avoid them with lecturer John Richter, who previously spoke at Next on the impact of data centers.
