AI Futures is an interdisciplinary reading group open to graduate students from all disciplines exploring the social, economic, political, and ethical impacts of artificial intelligence. Our goals are to understand the issues AI already raises, analyze the possible impacts of short- and long-term future developments, and develop strategies for navigating these changes and making sense of how to live well in a rapidly changing world. The group meets on Tuesdays at 4 in Maxwell Hall. Join in for coffee, snacks, and conversation.
Topics include:
Education, Transportation, War, Work, Art, Sex, Love, Language, Accelerationism, and so much more!

The Bloomington Symposium: Intelligence is a year-long interdisciplinary initiative hosted by the Institute of Advanced Studies. The eventculminating in a 2.5-day symposium, November 14–16, 2024, where scholars from various fields will collaborate to deepen the understanding of intelligence. This gathering will address how intelligence is defined, measured, and valued across different sectors, with a focus on expanding theoretical frameworks and exploring intelligence in all its forms, including artificial, ecological, emotional, and social intelligence. The symposium aims to challenge and inform existing concepts of intelligence, especially in the context of AI advancements. Co-convened by professors David Crandall, Rachel Plotnick, and Caleb Weintraub, the working group will develop a shared bibliography and explore intelligence through diverse evidentiary artifacts, leading to comprehensive dialogues during the symposium.
