4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Vernor Vinge, a famous science-fiction writer, wrote about the "technological singularity" as a point in civilization when changes stop being controllable. In the view of some, when artificial intelligences become self-aware and show autonomous purpose, humanity will be faced with deep moral questions and perhaps our very survival.
