**From the video description - Copy/pasted here for convenience**

> \_Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.
> 
> This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th, 2023 with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4.
> 
> We encourage viewers to consider calling their political representatives to advocate for holding hearings on AI risk and creating adequate guardrails.\_

**Moderator Note**  
I have renamed “Other Engineering Technology” to “Other Technology”, and created a new sub forum called “AI and Related Tech”.  
I agree that this is something we need to discuss, and it’s totally on-topic here on this board.
