Toby Ord Talk Promotional Image
 
Our species could survive for millions of years - time to end disease and poverty; to reach new heights of flourishing.

But this vast future is at risk. With the advent of nuclear weapons, humanity gained the power to destroy ourselves.

In this talk, Toby Ord will talk about the threats from climate change, engineered pathogens, and artificial intelligence and argue that we must do more to prevent these risks. 

In the Q&A afterwards, Toby will be happy to talk about how recent events- like Russia-Ukraine war, Covid, and the rise of ChatGPT - have affected his thinking about existential risk.

There will also be free 🍕pizza🍕 afterwards
