George Dyson, “Artificial Intelligence: From Analog to Digital and Back”
LaRose Digital Theatre, Koury Business Center, 5 p.m.
The best way to gain a sense of where A.I. is taking us is to look back at how we got to where we are today. George Dyson is an independent historian of technology, whose subjects have included the development (and redevelopment) of the Aleut kayak (“Baidarka”), the evolution of artificial intelligence (“Darwin Among the Machines”), a path not taken into space (“Project Orion”), and the transition from numbers to mean things to numbers that do things in the aftermath of World War II (“Turing’s Cathedral”).
