The UHPA Monthly Discussion Group is a place for activists to talk and think together.
Each month, we’ll tackle a specific issue. The discussion group is not a lecture, but an open space for dialogue. Each month will have a topic and a text that we use as a starting point.
On October 21, we will discuss catastrophic risks of Artificial Intelligence. This month's text will be announced on October 15th. Comment below or email us at [email protected] with suggestions of texts. We are looking for short texts which can be read in under 10 minutes.
UHPA Discussion Group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the Month at 5pm.
Text to be determined - but here are some general background readings:
