  mathematicians can do about them\n\nAbstract: This talk aims to give an 
 overview of the state of AI progress and scaling laws\, and the risks (bo
 th immediate and long-term) that human civilization faces as a result. Th
 ese risks range from the misuse of AI capabilities in cyber\, bio\, and p
 ersuasion\, to the inexorable trend towards gradual disempowerment\, to e
 xistential risks of full AI takeover and extinction. I will lightly surve
 y progress on the three major directions that we can contribute to as mat
 hematicians and individuals: theoretical AI alignment\, empirical AI safe
 ty\, and AI pause advocacy.\n\nHost: Samuel Spiro (sspiro@gsu.edu)\n\nhtt
