DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is now widely touted as a potentially 
 massive threat to humanity\, with images of a Terminator-style future. But
  is such genuinely independent intelligent technology possible? And\, even
  if it is\, is the actual threat more likely to be indirect: by way of the
  industrial and ecological effects of bringing that technology into being?
  Philosopher Dr. Rupert Read will argue that the real crisis facing us is 
 one of our breaching the limits of our planet – and that our obsession w
 ith high-tech will accelerate that breaching
