Futurecasting at the Collab Lab provides an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technology and discuss how it might affect us.

At this event, we will watch a Ted Talk about the future of AI. If machines can think, learn and adapt, does that mean that we humans will end up with significant unemployment? What should we do about it?

In this talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/martin_ford_how_we_ll_earn_money_in_a_future_without_jobs - futurist Martin Ford makes the case for separating income from traditional work and instituting a universal basic income.
