Comedy Debate - Robots Do It Better

11th Apr 2016

Presenter: Engineers Without Borders

Event Duration: 120 minutes

The human brain might be the most sophisticated computer on earth, but how long will it hold this accolade? Do robots do it better? Have we rendered ourselves obsolete? Wasn’t that the point all along? Is our future one with more time for leisure and philosophy while robots undertake the life’s dull chores, or will we be enslaved by our superior creation? Did Darwin see this coming? And what of the soul?

Come and see some of Australian’s finest minds and top comedians battle it out to decide whether or not biology or technology will succeed in this violent struggle. No robots will be included in the debating panel.

Funds raised from this event will support the work of Engineers Without Borders Australia.
