On September 20th, 2018, one of the leading researchers in Artificial Intelligence, professor Toby Walsh, will in one-hour long public debate talk about how AI has been improving our lives, and why the society needs to be economically, culturally, politically and legally prepared for the AI of tomorrow.

Toby Walsh has been called a “rock star of AI”, due to his regular appearances in the international media. He is talking and asking questions about the impact of AI and robotics on our lives. Professor Walsh is not only known as the initiator of the worldwide movement for the UN-ban of autonomous lethal weapons (,,Killer Robots”), but is also an author of numerous books presenting the general public the myths, the chances and the risks in the field of AI techniques and technology.
