AI 3.0: Synthetic Worlds, Forgotten Earth?

In partnership with the University of St. Thomas.

We live in the era of virtual reality and AI, where technology promises us a life of ease, one where we grow ever more distant from the challenges of the natural world. Consuming entertainment and information through screens, letting AIs learn and think for us, carrying around supercomputers in our pockets, riding around in automated cars–what’s to keep us from becoming so internally focused that we’ve blocked out the world around us? Is there hope for nature if we are no longer in relationship with it?
