In the late 1950s, Marv Minsky, one of the early pioneers of Artificial Intelligence, excitedly turned to a colleague and gushed, “We’re going to make machines intelligent. We are going to make them conscious!”. “You’re going to do all that for the machines?” his colleague replied, “What are you going to do for the people?”. Now, seventy-five years later, that same conundrum has become more acute. Untold resources have gone into advancing machines… but the question remains: what are we going to do for the people? This is not a panel about AI, this is a panel about us. Urgent, practical and guided by expert voices, this is about how to help humanity flourish in an age obsessed with investing more in machines. With Kester Brewin, Alice Wroe, James Stewart and Hannah Silva.
