Description: With recent advances in artificial intelligence, materials science, quantum computing, biotechnology, and more, the future promises to look very different. Futurism or futures studies is the discipline of exploring what the future will look like and how people will live and work with these upcoming advancements. Many books and papers have been written on this subject from well-known thinkers like Max Tegmark, Michio Kaku, and Mauro F. Guillén. In this synchronous seminar (a time will be selected based on a poll of enrollees) co-led by Eric Ianni and Ana Rusch, students will read through selected books and papers on the topic, then meet weekly to discuss what the future will look like based on those topics and how the work they are doing intersects with that future.
