Join us for a discussion about where we're coming from and where we're going as a species! We'll talk about the promises and perils we can anticipate along the way and postulate what we can do with this realization. Further topics include coming technologies, current capabilities, and a history of the transhumanist movement.
After the presentation we'll have a panel discussion where the audience can get involved. Satisfy your curiosity and express your views! While the venue doesn't allow food, we plan to adjourn to a nearby eatery for food, drink, and further discussion.
Presenters:
Tricia Mendoza - "A Novice's Perspective"
Paul Burkett - "Are You Ready to Have Superpowers?"
Jacob Johnston - "Practical Transhumanism"
Zac Finger - "The Future from the Past"
Jim Walz - "The prospect of Runaway AI"
Dorothy Deasy - "The Future of Real" (extract from her talk at the Extreme Tech Conference) |
