According to one recent estimate, there are one sextillion animals on Earth that may be sentient, most living in the wild. Yet wild animal welfare is neglected by intergovernmental bodies such as the IPCC. This talk discusses the importance and difficulty of developing a framework for evaluating interventions targeted at improving wild animal welfare. It considers how a model recently developed by Rethink Priorities might be used to quantify wild animal welfare and discusses different theories of population value, identifying sources of uncertainty. It ends with a discussion of preventing the spread of wild animal suffering to other planets. Tim Campbell is a philosopher and research fellow at the Institute for Futures Studies (IFFS) in Stockholm and the Mimir Center for Long Term Futures Research. His research focuses on topics in ethics related to population change, personal identity over time, whole brain emulation, and, most recently, wild animal welfare.

AI systems deceiving humans, particularly about their alignment, pose significant challenges for ensuring their safety. Olli Järviniemi talks about his recent research on the deceptive tendencies of language models: will LLMs take deceptive actions without external instruction or pressure to do so? The basic approach is to create a realistic simulation environment and naturally provide opportunities for deception. The focus of this talk is on the experimental setup and results, with some discussion of future research directions. Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynF8QuyO_9Q…

In this talk, Kristian Rönn delves into the compelling notion that humanity’s gravitation towards short-term success and solutions poses a significant threat to our long-term survival and alignment with our deepest values. Dubbing this phenomenon the “Darwinian trap,” Rönn outlines how it underpins many of today’s most pressing issues—from the degradation of our workplaces to the global catastrophic threats of nuclear war, climate change, and artificial intelligence. He posits that by fostering cooperation and adopting principles from accounting—to accurately assess, track, and manage what truly matters—we can evade evolutionary traps, i.e., short-term successes and solutions that pose a significant threat to our long-term survival amidst the accelerating pace of technological advancement. Kristian left the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University to found the carbon accounting company Normative in 2014. His expertise in mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and AI has led to speaking engagements at notable forums like COP & Davos. Kristian has provided counsel to governments and international bodies and received recognition from the UNDP for his contribution to UN Goal 13. Google.org has acknowledged Kristian as a “Leader to Watch.” Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NwxJmXwI20…
