What rights should an intelligent machine have?

What does a government owe its citizens in the age of AI and synthetic biology?

Where should we draw lines around gene editing?

Big questions about tomorrow deserve our attention today.

Some experts have suggested we think of AI as a new species; synthetic biology and DNA engineering may change the human species as well, extending our lifespans, and giving us new traits and abilities, but also new questions and quandaries. How will we keep our values of fairness, compassion, duty and justice in an altered world?

Our ethicists and philosophers of consciousness and technology will guide you through fascinating and compelling discussions on how technology intersects with morality, and the steps we need to take to ensure we build a society that stays human in the ways most important to us.
