When artificial intelligence exceeds human thinking in all categories of reasoning and understanding, what conclusions will it reach about the future of ethics? Will such systems - AGIs - take greater care of us humans, than the regard we show to rodents? To what extent can design choices made by human developers influence the decisions that AGIs will take? Or is any such discussion premature or misguided, given apparently more pressing problems facing human civilisation as 2023 approaches?

This open discussion will feature the ideas of Daniel Faggella, the founder and CEO of Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research. Daniel will also answer questions raised by audience members. Daniel has researched and written extensively on topics such as:

• A forthcoming "moral singularity"
• Scenarios for the emergence of AGI
• Why ideas of "friendly AI" are fraught with difficulty
• Possible trajectories for posthumans in the wake of advanced AI
• Why adoption of technologies such as AI, VR and AR is likely to be deeper and wider than many critics suggest
