DESCRIPTION:Norbert Wiener\, inventor of cybernetics (the “cyberâ€
  in cyberspace)\, was a household name in the mid-20th century. In the d
 ecades after his death his reputation drifted into obscurity. Over the pas
 t decade\, however\, the ideas he raised are once again pressing: the futu
 re of work in the age of robots\; distinguishing humans and machines (or n
 ot)\; the negative impact of applying advanced technology to weaponry\; an
 d many others. This talk will examine three aspects of Wiener: the ongoing
  relevance of his technical research (much of which has only been accessib
 le with the growth of computing power in the past decade)\; his focus on t
 he societal impact of technology\; and a look at Wiener as a person. The p
 resentation will also describe the IEEE 2014 Conference on Norbert Wiener 
 in the 21st Century to be held in Boston 24-26 June 2014. (Sponsors of thi
 s conference include the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology
 \; Systems\, Man\, and Cybernetics\; Control Systems Society\; and IEEE Bo
 ston Section.)\n\nSyndey\, New South Wales\, Australia

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br />Norbert Wiener\, inventor of cybernetics (the
  “cyber” in cyberspace)\, was a household name in the mid-20th
  century. In the decades after his death his reputation drifted into obscu
 rity. Over the past decade\, however\, the ideas he raised are once again 
 pressing: the future of work in the age of robots\; distinguishing humans 
 and machines (or not)\; the negative impact of applying advanced technolog
 y to weaponry\; and many others. This talk will examine three aspects of W
 iener: the ongoing relevance of his technical research (much of which has 
 only been accessible with the growth of computing power in the past decade
 )\; his focus on the societal impact of technology\; and a look at Wiener 
 as a person. The presentation will also describe the IEEE 2014 Conference 
 on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century to be held in Boston 24-26 June 2014
 . (Sponsors of this conference include the IEEE Society on Social Implicat
 ions of Technology\; Systems\, Man\, and Cybernetics\; Control Systems Soc
