If you’d like to blend your fandom with philosophy and a healthy dose of real world science, and you find yourself in New York City this week, you may want to drop in on the World Science Festival Friday.
Fans of Battlestar Galactica will recognize the names Michael Hogan (Saul Tigh) and Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin). They will be joining experts in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics and cybernetics on June 12. They’ll be discussing the scientific, ethical & philosophical issues involved with the discussion of intelligent machines and cybernetic enhancements to human abilities.
