Will AI Kill Us All?

You are forgiven for thinking that the world is a scary place. Russia’s gone rogue, Iran is supplying Vladimir Putin’s military with deadly weapons, and Tehran has escalated its nuclear program.

Join our experts online for this compelling conversation and discover why all is not lost.
