Peter will present on his forthcoming book “Genius Squared”, which critically examines trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) – from driverless vehicles to smart products to remote surveillance. He’ll discuss:
* What do current trends in AI mean for the future of global sustainability?
o Will they advance conservation, democratize decision-making and increase the eco-efficiency of global business?
o And/or will they turbo-charge consumerism and empower big business and militarized states at the expense of global citizens and the environment?
* What can we do to guide AI towards protecting, rather than destroying, the earth?
