Shanny Luft speaks with Vera Klekovkina (Department of World Languages), Joshua Horn (Department of Philosophy), and Tomi Heimonen (Department of Computer Science) about their thoughts and concerns about robots.
This episode was inspired by UW-Stevens Point College of Letters and Science Community Engagement series, "When Robots Rule the World." From the futuristic portrayal of robots in film to robots in the operating room, from the daily use of artificial intelligence (AI) in mundane tasks to the latest advances in the field of human-centered AI, a wide range of university faculty will explore the implications of When Robots Rule the World, in lectures and public events in Stevens Point.
More information about the Community Engagement Series is available here.
