The AI Trilemma: Navigating Hype, Hope, and Horror
Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm, inspiring a mix of excitement, optimism, and profound concern. Is the current explosion of AI just hype, a beacon of hope for humanity's greatest challenges, or a potential horror story in the making? Join AI Safety expert Harshavardhan Bajoria for a comprehensive overview of this critical field. This workshop delves into the essential questions surrounding the safe and beneficial development of advanced AI, moving from current issues to future possibilities. You will explore: - The Risks (Horror): Understand the real-world dangers already present, from AI-powered scams and deep fakes to future concerns like societal destabilization and the "misalignment problem," where AI goals diverge catastrophically from human values. - The Potential (Hope): Discover the incredible promise AI holds, with the potential to solve complex problems like climate change, prevent diseases through breakthroughs like protein folding, and unleash human potential. - The Approaches: Learn about the core concepts and research areas designed to steer AI in a positive direction, including Value Alignment, Robustness, Scalable Oversight, Interpretability, and Governance. This session provides a foundational look at the challenges and solutions in AI safety, equipping you to engage more deeply with one of the most important conversations of our time.

The session will explore the transformative power of Azure AI and its services, demonstrating how they can drive innovation and propel individuals and organisations to new heights. Attendees will gain insights into cloud computing concepts through real-world examples and learn how to leverage Azure AI, GitHub Codespaces, and GitHub Copilot to develop cutting-edge applications. The focus will be on building applications that redefine the future with enhanced accuracy and efficiency, while also addressing security concerns and streamlining the development process. We have the amazing https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshavardhan-bajoria here to speak to us about AI Innovation!Blazor WASM and Azure Static Web Apps are a great combination with Johan Smarius
Blazor keeps getting better and better. But where will you host the great new app we have built with it? You could use an Azure App Service for this, but there is another great option in Azure: Static web apps. In this session, I will show you what Azure Static Web Apps are all about and how to combine these with Blazor WebAssembly. The better part of this talk will be spent in Azure and code, so don't expect a lot of slides. https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/44f38f88-afd4-43c0-ba0b-7b69f460400c@b4c9f32e-da17-4ded-9c95-ce9da38f25d9
