Belfast — How dangerous are autonomous robots (Blade Runner) and self-programming artificial intelligence (HAL)?
On Wednesday, Feb. 5, Steve Wolfson will lead a discussion, “It’s Happening Now,” about the emergence of hyper-intelligent robots and artificial intelligence (AI) in the Belfast Free Library Abbott Room, 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Ray Kurzweil warns “The Singularity Is Near.” James Lovelock welcomes the coming Novacene, the age of hyper-intelligence. AI already whips world champions in chess, GO, and Jeopardy. Hollywood gives us “Blade Runner,” “The Matrix,” “HAL” and “Westworld.”
And Elon Musk is scared. Shouldn’t we be too? What do you think? Come and join the discussion.
