Artificial intelligence first topic in Geneva speaker series

Updated: September 6, 2013 3:24PM

Join us for our fall kickoff Sept. 25 to the highly successful speaker series when Larry Bartoszek walks us through the current research on artificial intelligence.

We will be introduced to current concepts and ideas about intelligence, robotics and nanotechnology. We will be asked to think about what it means to be human, so that if or when new intelligent things appear, we can decide how to treat them.

Here are some of the questions Bartoszek will ask us:

Is human intelligence different from everything else in the world, or just another product of evolution?

How do we know who has consciousness? Can it be rigorously defined and identified?

The rest is here:
