The Nature of Experiment: Intelligence, Life, and the Human
2019-04-08 09:30 - 17:30 (America/Toronto) | HH - J.G. Hagey Hall of the Humanities 200 University Avenue West 2107, 2104, 1108 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
Mary Shelley’s famous invocation of human experimentation gone wrong
is 200 years old, but remains as vibrant an analysis of the human
implication of scientific insight as it did when it was first
published — perhaps even more so in an age on the verge of
breakthroughs in both artificial inteligence and bioengineering. This
conference will approach the intersections of intelligence, life and
the human from a unique perspective, through the concept and practice
of the “experiment,” both today and in the past.
