Description
Please join Professor Outi Korhonen for an insightful discussion on “Evil AI and Critical Agents: Frontiers of International Governance”. Content generation by AI is booming. From lay person to expert AI adoption rate is over 40% in the Global North. LLMs by mega-tech companies whose market caps are many times higher than the GDP’s of most states have been trained with the content of the entire internet. Generative AI expounds on the existing content and thus makes the ratio of marketing-style click-bait based content grow exponentially in comparison to critical thinking based content, which is what is needed for informed and critical decision making. Content editing and control is ever further centralised and economic power consolidated in the hands of the mega-techs. The talk is about how evil AI can get, whether critical agency is possible within it and how these impact global governance.

Bio
Outi Korhonen is professor of international law (University of Turku). She is the principal investigator in two multi-year research projects; one on sustainable development supporting DAOs (decentralized autonomous organisations) and another on developing an AI tool that is versed in critical thinking. Korhonen's teaching and research is multidisciplinary and spans the subjects of law and technology, sustainable development, global governance and social progress.
