SUMMARY:Discussion of “If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies” with Mike Ignatowski
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on January 22nd!\n\n\nJoin us for a provocative and critical online discussion on the urgent challenges posed by rapidly developing\, high-impact technologies as explored in the gripping work\, “If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies.” \nThis book dives deep into the scenarios where human innovation—particularly in areas like advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)\, self-replicating systems\, or synthetic biology—creates an existential threat\, questioning whether certain technological paths should simply not be taken. It forces readers to confront the regulatory and ethical vacuum surrounding breakthrough technologies that hold the potential for both unprecedented benefit and catastrophic failure. \nHow do we govern that which we cannot fully control? What level of risk is acceptable when the survival of humanity is the stake? And who\, ultimately\, holds the responsibility for the final switch? \nThis online event will move beyond a simple book review to a forward-looking\, solution-oriented dialogue\, exploring: \n\nThe tipping point between disruptive innovation and existential risk.\nThe argument for global governance and “technological deceleration” in certain high-risk domains.\nWhether the race to “build it first” is fundamentally incompatible with safe\, ethical deployment.\nThe role of the technology professional and leader in raising internal alarms about high-consequence projects.\n\nThe discussion will be skillfully moderated by Mike Ignatowski\, a longtime technology professional\, author\, and thought leader known for his expertise in complex systems and future technology trends. Mike will lead a stimulating\, interactive conversation\, ensuring we tackle the most difficult questions raised by this crucial text. \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.
