From the website: "In this lecture, Johnson interprets the history of objectifying people as fungible things of value (viz., the African slave trade) and juxtaposes this with the contemporary cybernetic turn that is endowing machines with the signs and capacities of personhood and that is combining people with machines. He proffers lessons from the global history of race that might guide a possible future for ethical governance of technology."
