This Austin Forum book discussion will discuss the insights and forward-looking ideas presented in Max Tegmark's thought-provoking work, "Life 3.0." Attendees will engage in an exploration of artificial intelligence, its potential impact on humanity, and the ethical considerations associated with the development of superintelligent machines. We will discuss Tegmark's vision of possible futures, including the concept of multiple "paths" that AI development could take. Participants will also share their insights on creating conscious machines, the role of humans in shaping AI's trajectory, and the ethical dilemmas posed by advanced artificial intelligence. We expect a dynamic exchange of ideas and that participants will develop an increased awareness of the complex and fascinating intersection between technology and the future of life.

As with all Austin Forum online book discussion events, we encourage everyone to read the book in advance. It is not required to attend, and listeners are also welcome. but conversation is greatly enhanced when the majority of attendees have read the book.
