The Curve
Description
A conference where thinkers, builders, and leaders grapple with AI's biggest questions. The Curve creates the space for real conversation on the biggest and most contentious topics in AI, from timelines and risks to economic impacts and national security implications. How should we expect AI capabilities to progress? How will that reshape work, power, and prosperity? Which applications will expand human agency and flourishing, and which will endanger them? How do we keep nations secure, institutions accountable, and the gains widely shared, while avoiding both authoritarian control and catastrophic misuse? No single field has all the answers. No single group is positioned to steer toward the best outcomes. We're all proverbial blind men, attending to our part of the elephant. The Curve is a 2.5-day tour of the whole creature — a chance to share knowledge, surface disagreements, build bridges, and make progress toward solutions.
