The robots are coming! — Driven by sex, love and laziness

It's your future! Robots and artificial intelligence are no longer science fiction. They have already moved into our homes, our work and our relationships.

We talk to AI assistants, let robots vacuum our floors and develop technology that can help us work, live and look after each other. At the same time, AI lovers, digital relationships and new forms of artificial intimacy are emerging that challenge our notions of love, closeness and human relationships.

But what exactly do we want technology to do for us?

Is it supposed to have sex with us? Is it supposed to take care of us when we get old? Is it supposed to make our work and everyday life easier? And can one love -- and be loved by -- a machine?

This evening, we've brought together four of the country's strongest and most prominent experts in the field for a thoughtful and entertaining conversation about robots, artificial intelligence and the future of technology.

Meet tonight's panel
Christiane Vejlø — tech expert, future analyst, author and communicator with a focus on technology, AI, ethics and society.

Mickey Gjerris — bioethicist and researcher focusing on ethics, human vision, technology and our notions of the good life.

Thomas Bolander — Professor of Artificial Intelligence at DTU with a focus on logic, multi-agent systems and AI.

Kristina May — CEO and co-founder of AM Copenhagen, where she works at the intersection of design, people, technology and companies.

Come along for an evening of sharp perspectives, big questions and plenty of food for thought. For what happens to man when machines are capable of ever more?
