What if we are all robots--only we don't know it?
This is Milton Glaser's poster for the Woodstock Film Festival, ongoing right now. In fact, streaming live at 4pm ET today is a panel discussion, "Redesigning Humanity -- The New Frontier," moderated by bioethicist James J. Hughes, including Ray Kurzweil, 2B film exec producer Martine Rothblatt and author Wendell Wallach, a discussion related to the science fiction film 2B.

The panel discussion explores how AI, nanotech, genetic engineering and other technologies will allow human beings to transcend the limitations of the body and fundamentally change the world over the coming 50 years. The film 2B portrays a decaying world on the cusp of great transformation. When the world's first transhuman is created by a renegade corporate CEO and bioscientist, the foundations of society's beliefs are threatened in a transhuman world where man merges with technology.
