Title: AI, Digital Utopia, and "Asymptopia"  
Abstract: AI promises to be one of the most transformative technologies of our age. In this lecture, I will argue that AI can actually support the development of a better future, both for humanity and for the planet. In the course of the lecture, I will outline the nature of utopian thinking, the relationship between it and digital technologies, and introduce what I shall call "asymptopia", or asymptotic utopia, the possibility of a progressive improvement of our society steered by regulative ideals (Kant).
