Digital Minds and AI

This is a virtual event, with an in-person broadcast in Lisbon. We invite LabWeek22 participants and others in Lisbon to join us at SUD Lisboa for drinks, light bites, and discussion.

Join us for a live virtual conversation between University of Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom and Protocol Labs' Founder Juan Benet on all things AI. Learn where the current developments in artificial intelligence and digital minds are leading society and how we step up to the challenges that will arise in this field. Nick will sit down with Juan for a wide-ranging conversation before the audience has the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers.

This event is part of the Breakthroughs in Computing Speaker Series, on how technology will shape society in the next 5 to 25 years. Hosted by Protocol Labs, this series runs every evening from Oct 24-28. It's designed to bring people together, sharing convivial drinks, thoughtful discussions, and new connections.
