DESCRIPTION:Join us for a timely conversation on AI\, humanity\, and the next steps towards building a better future with self-proclaimed “mad scientist” Dr. Vivienne Ming as we discuss her new book\, Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers\, Build Better People.  \nIn Robot-Proof\, Dr. Vivienne Ming helps readers grasp the ugly and the amazing of how individuals\, companies\, and societies will respond to the changes that are already taking hold due to the advent of AI. Robot-Proof is a book about people\, exploring what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world. \nThis book presents\, then answers\, pressing questions that readers may or may not have thought to themselves\, such as: \n\nWhat predicts long-term life outcomes across millions of little kids?\nWhy is the Informational-Exploration Paradox the most terrifying phenomenon you’ve never heard of?\nWhat predicts the smartest team and how will AI change it?\nWhy are ill-posed problems the future work\, education\, and a robot-proof humanity?\n\nWith poignant insight and delicate care to keep us grounded in the human perspective\, Robot-Proof is an entertaining and thought-provoking read for all individuals seeking to understand the next steps in a new and completely unprecedented world. \nRegister today to take part in the discussion! \nJoin us LIVE for a chance to win a copy of Vivienne’s book\, Robot-Proof!
