MIND PRESERVATION. "Professor Stephen Hawking has predicted that it could be possible to preserve a mind as powerful as his on a computer — but not with technology existing today." https://lnkd.in/dNw2Cej View in LinkedIn

STEPHEN HAWKING. "I think the brain is like a program in the mind, which is like a computer, so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain on to a computer and so provide a form of life after death." https://lnkd.in/dugqbTA View in LinkedIn

2030 GOAL. "According to some of the leading minds in the world, including Stephen Hawking, by 2030 we should have the capacity to upload a person's consciousness to a computer system. This would allow the human mind to live on in a virtually created world after the body has died, even interacting with other uploaded consciousnesses on the server." Now take a big breath. http://www.inquisitr.com/1883084/mind-trip-humans-to-live-forever-by-2030-as-persons-consciousness-could-be-uploaded-to-computer/ View in LinkedIn

GMO KILL SWITCH. “Recent progress in GM technology has seen scientists engineer “kill switches” that are designed to act as an emergency stop mechanism for GMOs. These are pieces of inserted genetic code that create characteristics intended to prevent a GMO from surviving and reproducing if they “escape” from a contained site, such as a field of GM crops, into the wild.” https://theconversation.com/kill-switches-could-make-genetically-modified-food-more-palatable-51941 View in LinkedIn

AI KILL SWITCH. “Safe interruptibility can be useful to take control of a robot that is misbehaving and may lead to irreversible consequences, or to take it out of a delicate situation, or even to temporarily use it to achieve a task it did not learn to perform or would not necessarily receive rewards for this.” https://lnkd.in/dNvbmQe View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME. "High-fidelity brain preservation is a necessary step to an eventual Human Connectome Project, understanding the circuit-level organization of human and other animal brains. Progress in connectomics, or plastinating and scanning human and other animal brains, will allow us a much deeper understanding of healthy and disordered mental behavior, and may also help create significantly more intelligent and useful computers." https://lnkd.in/dne9BZp View in LinkedIn

UPLOAD. "Russian multi-millionaire Dmitry Itskov, for one, hopes someday to upload the contents of a brain into a lifelike robot body as part of his 2045 Initiative." https://lnkd.in/dAUvynE View in LinkedIn
