Event Details

Join us for a movie and conversation! In the futuristic WestWorld, robots are used to create the perfect vacation destination. All goes well until they gain a mind of their own.

Are we heading in the same direction as we create more advanced robotics systems and integrate them into our daily lives?

We’ll consider the ethical issues this film raises as modern science races to close the gap on fiction. With guest panelist Michael Clamann, PhD, Post-doctoral Associate in the Duke Human Autonomy Lab, facilitated by Thomas Williams, post-doctoral fellow, Duke Initiative for Science & Society.
