The Stockholm Centre for International Law and Justice and the Institute for European Law invite you to a joint seminar
Description:
Please join Professor Outi Korhonen for an insightful discussion on “Evil AI and Critical Agents: Frontiers of International Governance”. Content generation by AI is booming. From lay person to expert AI adoption rate is over 40% in the Global North. LLMs by mega-tech companies whose market caps are many times higher than the GDP’s of most states have been trained with the content of the entire internet. Generative AI expounds on the existing content and thus makes the ratio of marketing-style click-bait based content grow exponentially in comparison to critical thinking based content, which is what is needed for informed and critical decision making. Content editing and control is ever further centralised and economic power consolidated in the hands of the mega-techs. The talk is about how evil AI can get, whether critical agency is possible within it and how these impact global governance.
