Oliver Habryka did gave a lightning talk at an earlier 29C3 about UFAI risk.

I would consider it to be unlikley that someone gives you a full slot to talk about UFAI given that as far as I know you have no qualifications to speak about the subject.

A lot of people apply to give talk at the Chaos Comptuer Congress and you are well past the deadline when it comes to talks for this years congress.

As this appears to be a conference largely self-organized I might find a slot where I can present UFAI risks to a smaller audience.

The Chaos Computer Congress is self-organized in the sense that it has it's own OSM network and world-wide the first event for that's true. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to think of the CCC as a small audience. For full talks there a call to papers and usually more people applying to give talks then slots are available.

I think that it would make a lot of sense to get a person from MIRI or FHI to hold a talk about UFAI at the Chaos Computer Congress and it's likely a topic that would be accepted if handed in as a response to the call for papers.

I actually met Oliver on the 31C3 and he mentioned very mixed feedback to his talk on 29c3.

Thanks for the link (I found Olivers presentation at 1:50,00 in the video).

I'm aware of that. But I think there will be lots of smaller opportunities to talk about the subject. And it would be helpful to have some material handy on my phone/laptop.
