A simple question. Where are you going, human? Humanity, society, the constructed environment. In what way will artificial intelligence influence and transform it? One thing is certain, everything depends on humans; they will decide and be the cause of any potential negative impact. Don't be afraid, join us! Come and listen to what selected experts and significant authorities on artificial intelligence think about the future of humanity and how it will be influenced by artificial intelligence and intelligent robots. And not just them. Participate in a societal discussion, but mainly in defining the future of society and the planet around the year 2050, operating on yet unknown forms of organization and communication between humans and new kinds of intelligent entities.
All panels will have one thing in common: to indicate where we are now and where we are heading. We will attempt to suggest how soon we will reach the moment of so-called Singularity, what the interaction, cooperation, and communication between Homo Sapiens and Machine Sapiens supported by highly advanced artificial intelligence will look like.
How will technology impact humanity itself in the coming years, its way of thinking, its consciousness? Will it dominate him? What impact could the outcome of this process have on all of humanity? What chance do dystopian predictions about its possible end have? Let us realize that behind every future situation stands today’s human.
We often hear self-serving claims about how AI will destroy us. But artificial intelligence is not a living organism with natural intelligence and an inherent desire to destroy someone. The only cause for fulfilling this fatal scenario would be the human who embeds information into the DNA of artificial intelligence that would lead to such actions. It is within his power to set sufficient safeguards to ensure that this never happens.
