The Robots are here! Are they going to save us or replace us?
With Guest Speakers from Fjord Design and Innovation
The Robots are coming! Wait no they’re already here! The Robots have arrived! Hurray? Are they just in time to wave us goodbye or are they here to save us? And do they dream of electric sheep?
Conversations around Artificial Intelligence can often feel like they deal solely in the realm of the imagination and hazy far-off futures, while conversations with AI tend to involve lots of cursing, pleading impotently to talk to a human and your run-of-the-mill Kafkaesque nightmare lost in an endless chatbox loop.
Algorithms pick up all our prejudices, biases and assumptions. Tracing Apps push people into a privacy panic. And the people studying the stuff tend to sound like robots speaking their own language. So what’s it all about? And how does it help us right now, in this new world of ours?
Join us to chat all about this and more from the world of design and technology, as we talk with REAL HUMANS™ Connor Upton and Firat Toroglu, who are definitely humans, from Accenture’s Design and Innovation Consultancy, Fjord. They do smart things with numbers and stuff.
Are the Robots here to help or take over? Don’t worry they’re actually very friendly… as long as we’re nice…
Join us on Thursday May 7 2020 to celebrate the arrival of our new Overlords! Praise them with great praise. All hail Zoltron, or something.
