Anthropology, AI and the Future of Human Society
Virtual Conference 6-10 June 2022

Without in any way wishing to limit the possibilities, we suggest below a few of the potential areas of interest:

• Visions of the future: scientific and artistic imaginations
• Ethics, law and governance
• Biotechnology: DNA and reproduction
• Consciousness and the machine/biological interface
• Future conflicts and the military
• Economics, the digital future and the creation of value
• Inequality, sovereignty and demography
• Climate change and the environment
• Science fiction and its place in futures studies
• Agronomics and ecology
• Information, democracy and politics
• Robots and sociality, and human/machine interaction
• AI and human Identities
• Space exploration and extra-terrestrial migration
• Disciplinary reflections: anthropological attempts to anticipate the future

The arts as well as the sciences are invited, for this is an area of human speculation where both have made very great contributions, and we see the different approaches as being mutually stimulating.
