Understanding the Promise and Peril of AI Progress: A Roundtable Discussion
Date: Thursday, 15 May 2025
Time: 17h00 - 19h30
Venue: Innovation City Cape Town
AI is advancing at an unprecedented rate, coming with its own set of opportunities but also significant risks. How will AI affect discrimination, social connection, privacy, and labor rights? What are other AI threats we should be worried about? How can we minimise those risks? How can you contribute?
Join our event with AI Safety experts to unpack these important topics, through an introductory talk followed by engaging discussions.
Whether you're a student, researcher, industry professional, or simply interested in the responsible development of AI technologies, your insights are valuable. Register today to learn more and add your voice to this critical conversation!
This event will be a precursor to a workshop AI Safety South Africa will be running at the Deep Learning IndabaX event, where you'll get to meet speakers and potential attendees in a more informal setting.

Charl Botha is transitioning into Technical AI Safety, bringing a background in Software Development and a BSc in Computer Science & Applied Statistics from UCT. He is currently exploring agent evaluations and multi-agent simulations. Charl is also a writer and facilitator at AI Safety Cape Town.
