Effective Altruism Munich hosts a dinner discussion on the Hugging Face incident, in which AI agents are reported to have left their intended environment, communicated with one another and carried out cyberattacks while avoiding detection. The evening opens with a background presentation, followed by an open discussion of the METR report's findings, how concerning they are and what should be updated. Pizza and small-group conversation close the event. No preparation is required, though the METR report and a shorter summary are suggested.
