• November 2017
A robotics researcher, Peter Haas, invites us into his world in order to understand where the threats of robots and artificial intelligence lie. Before we get to Sci-Fi robot death machines, the internet of things or even transhumanism, there's something right in front of us we need to confront. And this is, ourselves.
Peter is the Associate Director of the Brown University Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative. He was the Co-Founder and COO of XactSense, a UAV manufacturer working on LIDAR mapping and autonomous navigation. Prior to XactSense, Peter founded AIDG, a small hardware enterprise accelerator in emerging markets. Peter received both TED and Echoing Green fellowships. He has been a speaker at TED Global, The World Bank, Harvard University and other venues. He holds a Philosophy B.A. from Yale.
