Fascinating Topics
I missed this last week: Michael Anissimov provides a thorough run-down of what went on at the Terasem Movement 4th Colloquium on the Law of Futuristic Persons in Melbourne, Florida. Topics ranged from the legal rights of people in biostasis to how to teach robots right from wrong. The focus is on putting together the appropriate legal framework to deal with these major changes in how define little insignificant cocnepts such as what is human or what it means to be alive.
I was a few miles away at a completely different (day-job-related) conference while Michael was attending the Colloquim. I think he got the better deal!
