Can AI Be a Force for Good? A Conversation with Craig Mundie
Explore AI's transformative potential and risks with Craig Mundie in a thought-provoking discussion on aligning technology with human values
In his final book Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit, the late Henry Kissinger collaborated with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt to explore how AI is reshaping humanity's relationship with knowledge, reality, and ourselves. As AI systems grow in capability and agency, they offer unprecedented opportunities to address global challenges from climate change to inequality, while also raising profound questions about human judgment, discovery, and evolution.
Join us for an in-depth discussion with Craig Mundie, former Chief Research and Strategy Officer at Microsoft and distinguished technology advisor to three U.S. Presidents. In conversation with Professors Philipp Koralus and Christopher Summerfield, Mundie will explore how we can harness AI's transformative potential while thoughtfully addressing its risks. Drawing on decades of experience at the intersection of technology and policy, he'll discuss how academia, industry, and government can collaborate to ensure AI development remains aligned with human values and societal benefit.
The session will include a 30-minute presentation followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A.
The Institute for Ethics in AI bring's together world-leading philosophers and other experts in the humanities with the technical developers and users of AI in academia, business and government. The ethics and governance of AI is an exceptionally vibrant area of research at Oxford and the Institute is an opportunity to take a bold leap forward from this platform.
