James Barrat: A.I. and the future of humankind

James Barrat, American writer and documentary filmmaker.

The optimist foresee that by 2045 artificial intelligence will not only match, but top human intelligence, spearheading a new golden age in human history. However, what would happen if artificial systems were able to survive without human help? James Barrat believes that developing a superior entity, still partially obscure to us, without having conscientious and infallible programming systems – today beyond our reach – is a risky bet with very high stakes.

The event will be held in English.
