Welcome to the future, where most non-AU science fiction worlds without AI simply aren't realistic anymore.

SF author Mikko Rauhala (M.Sc, intelligent systems) will discuss both the current state of real AI and its applicability to worldbuilding in hard science fiction. What are AI's strengths, capabilities and weaknesses? In what directions might it develop? Faced with an uncertain future, how to construct SF settings that might stay realistic for a couple of years, and what to avoid?
