Excellent panel kicking off with @DameWendyDBE - needs to be a societal debate on whether we even want to create something more intelligent than us #AGI

[Ed Ratcliffe @RatcliffeEd]

Race between AI companies is good but it must be a race to the top on safety and standards. New oversight team at @OpenAI approaching risk scientifically.

Excited to be at the @AsiaTechxSG #ATxSummit in Singapore. Lots of the agenda - AI obviously - but also quantum, compute, sustainability, and startup ecosystems.
