 te the unusual place for the talk.\n\nMany experts believe that humanity w
 ill likely develop machines more intelligent than ourselves during the 21s
 t century. This could lead to rapid improvements in human welfare\, but co
 uld also cause disastrous outcomes and could even be an existential risk. 
 AI safety research is a small but growing field\, devoted to foreseeing th
 e problems AI might pose and working out ways to ensure AI developments ar
 e safe and beneficial.\n\nWe are starting a new series of AI safety meetup
 s! For our launch event\, Robert Miles\, known from Computerphile and his 
 own YouTube channel\, will talk to us about why the AI safety problem is s
 o important and some of the progress that has been made.\n\nFuture events 
 will include a mixture of reading groups and more talks. In the reading gr
 oups\, we will read research papers and discuss their content and implicat
 ions\, providing an overview of the technical challenges in the field.\n
