Why We Have an Emotional Connection to Robots | World Science Festival

Описание: Tune in and join the conversation during the premiere of "To Be or Not to Be Bionic: On Immortality and Superhumanism" on Friday, November 22nd at 8pm EST.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
“We can rebuild him. We have the technology,” began the opening sequence of the hugely popular 70’s TV show, “The Six Million Dollar Man.” Forty-five years later, how close are we, in reality, to that sci-fi fantasy? More thornily, now that artificial intelligence may soon pass human intelligence, and the merging of human with machine is potentially on the table, what will it then mean to “be human”? Join us for an important discussion with scientists, technologists and ethicists about the path toward superhumanism and the quest for immortality.
