[FRIAM] Future of humans and artificial intelligence

[Prof David West]

For what its worth - I will be teaching a short class next month in
Santa Fe, "Isaac Asimov and the Robots." Two points of coverage: 1) the
robots themselves invent and follow a "Zeroth Law" that allows them to
eliminate individual human beings with a result the exact opposite of
Hawking et. al.'s fears that our  creations will not love us; 2) how
the actual evolution of robotics and AI (see Daniel Suarez'* Kill
Decision* - autonomous swarming drones as tools of war and death to
humans) diverged from the rosy naive 1950s view of the future that
Asimov advanced.
