A brief overview of Machine Ethics presented by Ben Byford

Machines are being given extended reach from the digital world into the physical, with more autonomy comes more access to directly harm, help and hinder us. Machines ethics explores theses conundrums and, Ben Byford argues, helps us navigate the continuing technological revolution and it’s impact on human society.

Human/Machine with Dr Jennifer Whitney

Automation, artificiality, and machine intelligence change the way we live, work, and play. But, significantly, they also change the way we think and feel about the world and ourselves. Jennifer Whitney’s talk will explore how and why this is the case, and what this suggests about the future of human/machine relationships.
