Envision Conference 2018

Engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, business leaders and policymakers will come together to explore the ethics of technology during the third annual Envision Conference Friday, Nov. 30, through Sunday, Dec. 2, in the Frick Chemistry Laboratory. The conference will focus on the implications of artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic biology, neural enhancement and nanotechnology.

Co-sponsored by PEI, the conference includes workshops on using technology to reduce meat consumption — led by Peter Singer, Princeton’s Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values — develop autonomous vehicles, provide affordable housing, and combat global food shortages, among other topics. Graduate and undergraduate students will present their research projects and proposals on breakthrough technologies, including those related to the environment and climate change. A career fair will feature information and opportunities from various technology companies.

The conference schedule is available online.
