BP6 Launch
BP6 Celebration of Learning
Team Project
The Fourth Industrial Revolution promises to bring an unprecedented period of technological innovation with implications too complex to predict. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, bioengineering and transhumanism, the continued expansion of sophisticated warfare, not to mention profound shifts in social organization lead many thinkers to question if our ‘humanity’ can endure.
Your team will perform an approximately eight-minute TED talk on an area of significance and group interest. In your presentation, you must draw connections from all four areas of study and explain how it connects to the future of our ‘humanity’.
