Artificial Human Intelligence and the Movies – Will Computers Rule the World?

MONDAY, MAY 22, 10:30 A.M.

Keystone Room

Believe it or not, from the earliest part of human history, there is evidence of artificial intelligence (AI). Until recently, the machines were dumb and not able to act alone; however, that has changed over the past few decades. Hollywood has taken up this theme of machine AI dominating the world and killing or enslaving humans to do so. From Hal in “2001: A Space Odyssey” to “Wargames” to “Terminator,” explore how popular films have used this theme to present a darker future for AI. Presented by Dr. Robert Wheelersburg, this program is sponsored by the Lifelong Discovery Fund.

We ask that all residents stop to pause at 3 p.m., along with the rest of the country, to recognize our fallen veterans, wherever you happen to be at that time.
