Jerome Glenn, Futurist and CEO at the Millenium Project
“It is critical that the best minds on the planet collaborate to manage the transition from Artificial Narrow intelligence of today to AGI of tomorrow. If this transition is not managed well, a supper AI could emerge from un-regulated AGI beyond our control and maybe not to our liking. This summit is an important step in that responsible direction. I am very pleased to be part of it.”
Natasha Vita-More, Founder, Center for Transhumanist Studies
"AI arouses deep-rooted fears that touch each person on Earth. AI could also decode horrific diseases, resolve energy problems, mitigate climate disruptions, and help peoples' basic needs. To put it in perspective, uncompromising fears did not hinder explorers who sailed upon unknown seas or astronauts who stepped on the surface of the Moon. The BGI24 Summit may be the first group to navigate across static fears in establishing enormous potential."
Jay Friedenberg, Psychology Professor, Manhattan College
“Recent events have shown that advanced artificial intelligence is already upon us and will have an enormous impact on civilization. It is more important than ever before to understand the risks it poses and to best determine how to manage them.”
