Bubonicon 57 - Androids & Robots and Droids, Oh A.I

Bubonicon is New Mexico’s best and longest-running Sci-Fi & Fantasy literary and arts convention. Join us in Albuquerque for a great weekend of fun! We have panels and presentations (featuring top authors, artists, and scientists), a costume contest, art show, dealer’s room, Green Slime Awards, charity auctions, fan programming, and much more! ###### Robots, androids & droids are all over science fiction – from Philip K. Dick’s replicants to Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, from *Star Trek*’s Data to *The Terminator*’s Skynet, from Martha Wells’ *Murderbot* to Arthur C. Clarke’s HAL 9000, from *Colossus* by Dennis Feltham Jones to Jack Williamson’s *Humanoids*… And it turns out that 2026 is supposed to be the year of the “AI Agent” (“AI agents possess several key attributes, including complex goal structures, natural language interfaces, the capacity to act independently of user supervision, and the integration of software tools or planning systems”). The future forms one gigantic question mark! https://www.bubonicon.com/
