About this Event
In this presentation, Dr. Ryan Jenkins from the Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, explores the potentially transformative impact of robot kitchens and artificially intelligent chefs on our lives and broader societal structures. As we stand on the brink of a revolution in food technology, this talk explores how automation in the kitchen might alter the fabric of tradition, family interaction, and individual lifestyles. The presentation assesses potential shifts in the dynamics of cooking, mealtime experiences, and waste management. It also considers the ethical dimensions of our relationship with automation, questioning how it shapes our character, intentions, and duties. The discussion encourages a multifaceted consideration of whether technological advancements should always equate to progress, exploring what might be gained—and lost—in this shift towards automated cooking.
