The Boston Debate Showcase: The Great AI Debates

November 17 - 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
$30 – $60

A night of live debates on the biggest questions in artificial intelligence, starting with whether America should wall off AI from China. MIT’s Yasheng Huang, Fiona Murray and Manolis Kellis take the stage, the audience questions them and judges the debate, and the friendly back and forth carries on over drinks at the reception.

The Program

Three MIT faculty, one evening of live, carefully framed argument about artificial intelligence. Bring your questions: every session opens to the room.

Should America Wall off AI from China?

Where should the US draw the line between scientific cooperation with China and restrictions intended to protect national security?

An economist of China’s state and technology and the chair of the NATO Innovation Fund take on the hardest trade-off in AI policy: the openness that drives discovery against the controls meant to keep it safe.
