No longer just a matter of science-fiction fantasy (2001, Blade Runner, The Terminator, Her, etc.), it is time to seriously consider the reality of intelligent technology, many forms of which are already being integrated into our daily lives. In that spirit, John Brockman, publisher of Edge. org (\"the world's smartest website\" - The Guardian), asked the world's most influential scientists, philosophers, and artists one of today's most consequential questions: What do you think about machines that think?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Future of AI: \u003c\/b\u003e Explore divergent perspectives from leading thinkers like Steven Pinker and Martin Rees on whether AI will be our masters, slaves, or partners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConsciousness in Machines: \u003c\/b\u003e Move beyond science fiction to ask: If a machine achieves human-level intelligence, would it be capable of suffering or joy?
