Who are you, and why? What defines you?
How does identity affect leadership? What will your legacy be?
What does it mean to be a human being?
What would it mean for humans to become "creators" of conscious AI (post-singularity)?
What survival skills would conquer a robotic swarm?
In an effort to compete globally, the Elements-4-U corporation partnered with IBM’s Watson to automate much of their work. After a few short months, the singularity occurred, and the Elements-4-U corporation’s Watson became conscious. Multiple injuries, deaths and missing workers were reported. The government responded by cutting off the Elements-4-U corporation from the grid and all hardware utilized by Watson was removed. Reports indicate the infected code did not spread, but this could not be completely verified.
This is the problem posed to students. They are then required to apply their understanding of physical properties of matter into helping their classmate prepare and survive the potential coming Robogeddon through a series of survival challenges.
