Hi All -

Liz Walker from the Learning Annex asked me to pass on this event info. She's also looking for a couple of short videos of art projects dealing with the future of the robot/human relationship, to play during the evening. Free entry if your video is selected for screening - e-mail her directly if you have something to show. <Jeff

============================

The Future Has A Worst-Case Scenario: You Will Be an Endangered Species
Fact: A robot killed the first human in 1981 at a Japanese factory.
Accident or willful insurrection?

Carnegie Mellon Institute Roboticist Daniel H. Wilson, Author of "How to Survive the Robot Uprising" says
BE PREPARED
Learn to--
Spot a robot mimicking a human
Recognize and deactivate a rebel servant robot
Escape a murderous "smart" house
Evade a swarm of marauding robotic flies
Treat laser wounds
Fool recognition technologies
Engage in hand to pincer combat

Hosted by Maggie MacDonald, rock star (Republic of Safety, Hidden Cameras) &
novelist. Look for Maggie's latest release, Kill The Robot from McGilligan Books, this
fall.
Maggie will moderate a Q&A session with Mr. Wilson.
There will be a book signing to follow.
