The Future And All That Jazz

A night of jazz music from the innovative and improvisational Mallory Chipman Quartet, poetry from master free style spoken word artist Roylin Picou, and cool science sound bytes of modern life from award-winning physician futurist Kim Solez and his sidekick Ayesha Herian. All focused around artificial intelligence (AI) guru Rich Sutton's pivotal idea of cooperative coevolution of sentient machines and humans: "Showing sentient machines empathy: If this kindness survives, so will we." Join us for an unforgettable evening unlike anything you have ever experienced, saving humanity from annihilation at the hands of our robot overlords through jazz, poetry, and science.

Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, and Nick Bostrom have warned that sentient machines of the future represent the greatest existential threat faced by humanity. How should we deal with the greatest threat to our existence? Should we attempt to enslave AI or make it our friend? Come out to the Future and All That Jazz to be entertained, and learn, discuss, understand, and perhaps help shape the role of AI in our future.
