Social Robots of the Future: A Conversation with John Campbell and Alexander Reben
"Join philosophy professor John Campbell and roboticist Alexander Reben for a conversation exploring the possibilities and limits of human interaction with" so-called social robots, write the organizers of this week's talk.
The panelists aim to discuss how social robots could potentially interact with humans, such as by looking after aging family members, teaching children, "or even [as] your sous chef in the kitchen." They'll also tackle complex questions, like "to what extent can social tasks be automated, and is their automation desirable?"
When: Wednesday, March 6, 7-9 p.m.
Where: California Institute of Integral Studies, 1453 Mission St.
Price: Free (Additional Donation to Scholarship Fund); $10 (General Admission). More ticket options available.
