Apply to our Crypto, Security, & AI Workshop, October 4 – 5, 2022!

We’d love to invite you to apply to Foresight’s Crypto, Security & AI Workshop! 

Contribute to novel insights and make new friends in what we hope will grow into a nascent community spanning three impactful fields.

October 4-5 @50 Years Capital in San Francisco

Sponsored by Protocol Labs and Agoric

Chaired by Mark S. Miller, Agoric

Goals:

Crucial opportunities defining our flourishing long-term future lie at the intersection of cryptography, security, and AI. They may not be immediately obvious from within each field. This two-day event invites top researchers, builders, and funders in computing, cryptography, cryptocommerce, security and AI to explore undervalued areas for progress. Themes are loosely based on technologies highlighted in Gaming the Future.

Format:

Brief presentations on the state of the art, and opportunities in cryptography, security, and AI. Based on these cross-disciplinary intros, working groups are formed in which specialists deep-dive into other disciplines, to learn how their niche will be shaped by others. Potential opportunities to bridge across fields, now and in the future, will be explored and evaluated.
