The launch of ChatGPT4 has reinvigorated the debate about the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence. In an open letter that has been widely circulated, leading AI experts and other actors in the field call for a pause in the development of advanced AI systems.

Welcome to a seminar where we discuss the progress being made within the field of AI today. What consequences can the advancements have for the labor market, the economy, and society in general? And how should risks in terms of ethical aspects, security, and privacy be managed?
