The 2nd IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century was held July 13-15 2016 at the University of Melbourne. The conference focused on opportunities and threats presented by advances in cognitive computing, in the context of Wiener’s technical work and his concerns regarding technology and society. Norbert Wiener was a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and engineer whose pioneering work in mathematics, computer science, systems control, biology and engineering led to cybernetics (the origin of “cyberspace” and “cyborgs”). This conference followed the successful inaugural conference in Boston, June 2014.
