Maanrede - Bart van der Sloot

Overig

Artificial intelligence is not developing step by step, but in leaps and bounds. What sounds futuristic today may be an app tomorrow, a tool at work, or a creature sitting next to you on the train. The question is no longer whether AI will change our society, but how deeply and how quickly. And above all: what this requires of us as people, citizens and professionals.

In this lecture we investigate the big questions behind the technology. Not just what AI and humanoid robots can do, but what happens when they become more and more like us...? In behavior, language, creativity and maybe even in something that feels like consciousness. And we consider deepfake technology, which blurs the line between real and fake on a scale we can barely comprehend. Should we ever grant rights to AI or robots? Will we soon live in a post-truth era? Attend this lecture and be inspired by the future!
