FORGET CONSCIOUSNESS. "When people talk about the singularity, when people talk about superintelligent AI, they're not talking about sentience or consciousness. They're talking about superhuman ability to make high-quality decisions." (Stuart Russell, a computer scientist and founder of the Center for Intelligent Systems at the University of California). http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

OPEN LETTER. "In January, the British-American computer scientist Stuart Russell drafted and became the first signatory of an open letter calling for researchers to look beyond the goal of merely making artificial intelligence more powerful. “We recommend expanded research aimed at ensuring that increasingly capable AI systems are robust and beneficial,” the letter states. “Our AI systems must do what we want them to do.” https://lnkd.in/dxn8_SN View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL DNA. "We successfully digitized biology by converting the four-letter chemical analog code (A, T, C, G) into the digital code of the computer (1s and 0s). Now we had successfully gone the other direction, starting with the digital code in the computer and re-creating the chemical information of the DNA molecule, then in turn creating living cells that, unlike any before, had no natural history." https://lnkd.in/eyZU783 View in LinkedIn

ONE FUTURE VISION. "A floating world of liquid media where the body is daily downloaded into the floating world of the net, where data is the real, and where high technology can finally fulfill its destiny of an out-of-body experience. ... In recombinant culture, the electronically mediated body comes alive as our android other. ..." https://lnkd.in/dJTgZH3 View in LinkedIn

UPLOADED MIND. "But utility fogs may have an even more radical application than that — there's also the potential for people to upload their minds directly into this nano-infused cloud. "You could very realistically imagine uploading into it ... and then you'd be this sort of formless data amoeba controlling this formless physical amoeba and take any size or form you wanted." http://io9.com/5932880/how-utility-fogs-could-become-the-technology-that-changes-the-world View in LinkedIn

NANOBOTS. "By the 2030s, 'nanobots' will plug our brains straight into the cloud. These nanobots, Kurzweil said in a webinar earlier this year, will give us 'full immersion virtual reality from within the nervous system.' In other words, our brains will be connected to the cloud. "Just like how we can wirelessly expand the power of our smartphones 10,000-fold in the cloud today," he says "we'll be able to expand our neocortex in the cloud." http://www.businessinsider.com.au/ray-kurzweil-most-extreme-predictions-2015-11#/%23by-the-2030s-nanobots-will-plug-our-brains-straight-into-the-cloud-1 View in LinkedIn
