Description
This is not your typical AI or AGI event.
The Portland AGI Mini-Summit is one of the first events in the world to bring social science directly into the AGI debate — treating AGI not just as a technological milestone, but as a force that will reshape the fabric of society. We assume AGI is coming. The real question is: Is our civilization ready for it?
To explore this, we will confront the questions most AGI events avoid:
- Will capitalism survive AGI?
- Will democracy fall—or evolve?
- What does it mean to be human in a world of cognitive abundance?
Join us for an evening of short talks and a cross-disciplinary panel featuring:
- Joe Cortright – Urban economist, Executive Director of City Observatory, and Chair of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors
- Professor Fabrice Jotterand – Director of Neuroethics, OHSU
- Professor Tung Yin – Lewis & Clark Law School, national-security law
- Mounir Shita – Theoretical physicist and AGI researcher; Founder of EraNova and the Global Economic Alliance
Speakers will examine the structures of civilization — economics, law, governance, social stability, and human flourishing — and explore what may need to change to prepare for a future of AGI-driven abundance and post-scarcity conditions.
- 10–15 minute talks from each speaker
- Cross-disciplinary panel discussion + audience Q&A
- Networking session with a hosted bar
- Open to technologists, researchers, students, policymakers, and anyone curious about AGI and its impact on our planet
This event is part of the lead-up to a three-day AGI Global Summit planned for Portland in 2026.
