What would happen if we upload our brains to computers | Robin Hanson
Thu, 24 Aug 2017
Description
Meet the "ems" -- machines that emulate human brains and can think, feel and work just like the brains they're copied from. Economist and social scientist Robin Hanson describes a possible future when ems take over the global economy, running on superfast computers and copying themselves to multitask, leaving humans with only one choice: to retire, forever. Glimpse a strange future as Hanson describes what could happen if robots ruled the earth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
