I'd like to put together an AI-philosophy reading group. Ideally we would dig right in to the technical and philosophical topics, not glossing over the details (meaning we might read technical reports, textbook chapters, theses, etc.), and meeting as often as convenient. It'd be best to keep the group as small as possible, and I'm willing to take a leadership role in organizing and presenting (though by no means do I insist on being the main voice).
Potential discussion topics: machine ethics, theory of superintelligence, friendliness in artificial agents, philosophy of logic, really anything related to the building of a mind.
Actually, I folded it into another group called the Boulder Future Salon, which doesn't deal exclusively with x-risk but which has other advantages going for it, like a pre-existing membership.
