Can't attend but very interested in any conclusions or consensus-driven items that might emerge from both participants and presenters. Will you be unbundling sessions and offering recordings of same for purchase? In the meantime, please feel free to add this article from The Guardian to the discussion agenda:

Inside a plan to use AI to amplify doubts about the dangers of pollutants

Hi there! Was on a plane and very sad to miss. Keeping an eye out for the recording so I can be caught up before the next one!

Here's one more for you folks to mull over:

"What happens if we decide to boycott AI? The sad truth is that we can’t. It’s already too powerful.

If I wanted to boycott AI, I would need to give up

My email account

All Google searches

My word processing software

Also Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

Amazon and many other online retailers

Spotify and any other music streamer that allows it

Contacting customer service at many companies

Etc. etc. etc.

That’s bad news—because most of us need some of those things to live and work. But it will soon get much worse. Just wait and see.

The day will eventually come when…

You want to see a doctor or nurse—but you will be forced to use the AI chatbot.

You will desperately need counseling, but only AI will be available.

You seek legal advice, and just get a bot.

You apply for a job, but they give it to a bot instead.

You need an emergency responder—police, firefighter, paramedic—but you can only reach a bot.

We already know that they won’t let us choose. That’s already decided. So now the only question is how quickly they will remove the few remaining instances where humans deal with humans.
