Virtual Program today at 2pm! 'How to Robot-Proof Your Kids (and Yourself)' with Dr. Vivienne Ming, Award-Winning Theoretical Neuroscientist, Inventor, and “Demented” Author.
Join us for a timely conversation on AI, humanity, and the next steps towards building a better future with self-proclaimed “mad scientist” Dr. Vivienne Ming as we discuss her new book, Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers, Build Better People.

In Robot-Proof, Dr. Vivienne Ming helps readers grasp the ugly and the amazing of how individuals, companies, and societies will respond to the changes that are already taking hold due to the advent of AI. Robot-Proof is a book about people, exploring what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world.

This book presents, then answers, pressing questions that readers may or may not have thought to themselves, such as:

-What predicts long-term life outcomes across millions of little kids?
-Why is the Informational-Exploration Paradox the most terrifying phenomenon you’ve never heard of?
-What predicts the smartest team and how will AI change it?
-Why are ill-posed problems the future work, education, and a robot-proof humanity?
