Salon: Answers vs. Questions
November 1, 2017 | 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
We ponder the concept of what it means to be human in this talk focused on Answers vs. Questions.
Futurist Gerd Leonhard inspired our question for the latest installment of our Salon Series.
Gerd argues that computers are for answers and humans are for questions, this is a seminal distinction that could contribute to what it is to be human. Because we now live in a world where AI, robotics and wearable technology are becoming commonplace, we see the concept of humanity beginning to blur, so we ask the question:
In order to preserve our humanity do we need to focus less on the invention of new technology and focus more on the creation of provocative questions?
Reserve your spot today and stay tuned as we will announce the speakers and location very soon.
SingularityU Canada Summit
“SingularityU Canada Summit is the premier launch event of a new movement to inspire Canadians to shape the Future of Canada and drive global impact. By bringing together leading Canadian and International thought leaders, the Summit will provide a forum for true debate and uncommon conversations about how technologies like artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and digital medicine will impact the way we live and work.”
The Talk Boutique team is proud to be part of this amazing community by helping to curate and program the SingularityU Canada Summit.
TEDxToronto
The 9th annual TEDxToronto conference will take place on October 27, 2017 at Evergreen Brick Works. This year, the conference will be exploring the theme Legacy. Everyone is welcome to purchase a ticket to attend this full-day conference.
