P.W. Singer with General (Ret.) David Petraeus: The Future is Now

Jun 3, 2020


AI and robots were once the stuff of science fiction. Now they are reality—coming to our streets, stores, homes. And the Coronavirus pandemic just threw this change into an even faster pace, with everything from remote work to AI surveillance scaling to new levels.

How will this change our politics, economy, wars—even our family life?

Join General David Petraeus (U.S. Army Ret.) for a discussion with P.W. Singer, one of the world’s leading experts on 21st century tech and security, about what happens next with robots, society and his new book, Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution, an innovative technothriller that blends the excitement of fiction with cutting-edge research.

Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution can be purchased from Amazon or Bookshop (which supports Local Bookstores).
