Apply here by October 22 to express your interest in attending 

FAR.AI, in partnership with the Tarbell Center for AI Journalism, is hosting an exclusive, journalist-only workshop focused on the most urgent and debated topics surrounding artificial general intelligence (AGI) and AI governance.

This inaugural event is designed to equip journalists with accurate information and direct access to leading AI researchers, companies, and policy experts. Through engaging short presentations, moderated conversations, and in-depth discussions, you'll gain insights that go beyond the headlines and build a stronger network of sources for your ongoing coverage.

Workshop topics will explore pressing questions such as:

  • How close are we to achieving AGI?
  • Will AI lead to mass unemployment?
  • Should the U.S. race China to AGI?
  • What role should the U.S. government play in AGI oversight?
  • How real is the risk of AI-enabled bioterrorism?

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Dean Ball (President Trump’s former AI advisor)
  • Ben Buchanan (President Biden’s former AI advisor)
  • Rep. Alex Bores (New York State Assembly)
  • Saif Khan (Former Commerce Dept.)
  • Helen Toner (Interim Executive Director of CSET and former OpenAI board member)
  • Evan Hubinger (Anthropic)
  • Rocco Casagrande (MD, Gryphon Scientific)
  • Anton Korinek and Ioana Marinescu (Economists)
