Swedish researcher Anders Sandberg will discuss AI safety and humanity’s future at a SwedCham Singapore event on 20 November.
The session, “AI & Humanity: How Far Do We Go?”, will explore whether people can maintain control over increasingly powerful artificial intelligence.
According to SwedCham’s programme, Sandberg will examine how societies can prepare for systems that could eventually surpass human capabilities.
Beyond tools and productivity
The event forms part of SwedCham’s 2026 AI series, which explores the technology’s impact on business and society.
This session will address broader questions about AI development, human control and the institutions needed to manage future risks.
Sandberg researches these issues at the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm. His work covers AI safety, future technologies and risks that have a low probability but potentially far-reaching consequences.
He previously worked as a senior research fellow at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute.

The event takes place on Friday, 20 November, from 8.15am to 10am at SwedCham’s office in The Heeren, 260 Orchard Road, #07-01/04, Singapore.
Registration and a light breakfast begin at 8.15am. Sandberg’s presentation runs from 8.30am to 9.30am, followed by questions until 10am.
