You Have A Date With A Robot; VTica Welcomes Back Bruce Duncan

posted Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Vermont Institute of Contemporary Arts welcomes back Bruce Duncan

Would you like to talk to a robot? This presentation will include an introduction to the current state of the artificial computer intelligence through a live interview with Bina48 the world's most advanced humanoid robot.

Bina48, who can see, hear, understand human speech and carry on conversations (and even wears pearls), is an early demonstration of "mind uploading" from the LifeNaut project.

Bruce Duncan, Managing Director of the Terasem Movement Foundation will discuss his current work with Bina48 and the LifeNaut Project. Participants will have an opportunity to pose questions live to Bina48 during the course of her first live general public interview.

Seriously, how cool is that!

Bruce Duncan, M.Ed. is the Managing Director of the Terasem Movement Foundation, Lincoln, VT, which was founded by Dr. Martine Rothblatt, the inventor of SIRIUS Satellite Radio and several other satellite and biotech companies.
