From Terminator to Time Travel | The Reality and Humanity in AI and Quantum Technologies
March 14, 2026
2–4 p.m.
220 Montgomery Street, Suite 100, San Francisco CA
For generations, we’ve seen the representation of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum technologies evolve in movie theaters and the media — and now it’s part of our everyday lives, from our phones to in our homes. But what is the science, and what is really possible with these technologies? And what’s at stake with humanity?
Join a live taping of the “Ways of Knowing” podcast where we’ll host a lively discussion with one of the podcast’s co-producers and faculty experts from the UW’s College of Arts & Sciences.
