◉‿◉Human-AI dialogues on ethical development and societal advancement.
In an era where discussions about artificial intelligence often swing between doomsday scenarios and unbridled optimism, we recognize the need for a balanced, human-centered forum. Our upcoming salon series in San Francisco aims to bridge this gap, fostering a space where diverse voices can explore the multifaceted possibilities and challenges of advanced AI.
Be a part of this critical conversation. Help navigate the present and future of AI, and shape the world we want to live in. Your voice matters in building a more inclusive, human-centric approach to technology. Guest speakers will be announced one week prior to the event. Given limited space, RSVPs are required, and as we will undoubtedly hit capacity, we ask that you release your RSVP one week before if you can't make it, so that others may.
Who will be there
Top researchers, thinkers, founders, community leaders, advocates, and designers present and lead the discussion, but we expect full participation and believe that the audience is as much a contributor, as the speakers are listeners.
What we stand for
While we will have researchers, founders and investors, we're not here to dive into deep math, promote our startup, or land a job. We are here for unfiltered, productive conversation of diverse perspectives, connection, and belief that this is an important moment in time, and we have the power to shape it.

Danny Hernandez is best known for his work measuring the compute/money and algorithmic efficiency exponentials driving progress in model capabilities. These exponentials play a role like Moore's Law, but are AI specific, and faster. Danny did that work at OpenAI, but he left OpenAI when Anthropic was formed. At Anthropic Danny has focused on technical alignment, scaling laws, and culture. Recently, Danny helped improve Claude 3's answers to philosophy questions. Before that Danny was an early data scientist at Twitch.
