The Robot Revolution Is Starting Now with Peter Singer

Peter Warren Singer is the Strategist and Senior Fellow at New America, a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University, and Founder & Managing Partner at Useful Fiction LLC. He previously was a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, and was named by the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment." While that's quite the real-world résumé, we wanted to talk to him about science fiction... 

Specifically, Burn-In: The Real Robotic Revolution, the near-future science fiction novel he coathored with August Cole to stretch the imaginations of National Security, Intelligence, and State Department professionals needing better conceptual handholds for grasping AI's potential to reshape... well... all of human society. 

Oh, and did we mention he's also an actual, real-life "Mad Scientist?"

Join us for a very imagination-stretching conversation about the potential near-future challenges, opportunities, and yes, dangers posed by Artificial Intelligence.
