Transhumanism in Research and in Life
Date and time
The fifth event of the DAIDALOS discussion series on AI research and social responsibility. Finally in person!
About this event
We invite you to the panel discussion Transhumanism in Research and in Life. This is the fifth event of a discussion series called DAIDALOS co-organized by the AI Center FEE CTU and our friends at Machine Learning Meetups (MLMU).
Abstract
Aside from being perceived as synonymous with cyberpunk, cryosleep and cyborgs, Transhumanism is used to seek out solutions and answers about a more or less likely future. These answers translate into academic and practical research and the solutions translate into impactful life decisions. We will explore the different complex facets of Transhumanism and its very real impact on everyday life. Aside from that however we will attempt to set a baseline for Transhumanism 2.0.
About DAIDALOS
Through six lectures planned for 2021 and 2022, we wish to bring together scientists, students and experts from various fields to tackle the questions of AI research and social responsibility. Specifically, the cycle will cover the following topics related to AI: creativity, journalism, fairness, sustainability, transhumanism and the opening lecture on the history of AI. Learn more about DAIDALOS here.
