MAXforum: Have the Robot Armies Arrived?
Includes a Reading from Johnsville Road, by Andy Bragen, Developed in Collaboration with Daniel Fish
With a recent assassination in Iran by an autonomous vehicle did we unwittingly witness the entrance of autonomous weapons in the theater of war? And what is a person to do about it?
Featuring an excerpt from Johnsville Road, a new work by Andy Bragen, developed in collaboration with Daniel Fish, an eye-opening video, and a conversation moderated by Adaora Udoji with AI ethicist Ryan Calo, AI ethicist and co-director of Tech Policy Lab at the University of Washington.
This MAXforum series will be recorded and distributed virtually following the festival.
