PROFESSOR STUART RUSSELL. "He received his B.A. with first-class honours in Physics from Oxford University, 1982, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford, 1986. He then joined the faculty of UC Berkeley where he is currently a professor of computer science, director of the Center for Intelligent Systems, and holder of the Smith-Zadeh Chair in Engineering." https://lnkd.in/dWQVpUw 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

NEUROPROSTHESES. "For Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence (AI) is not just about making artificial things intelligent; it’s also about making humans artificially super-intelligent. In his version of our future we enhance our mental powers by means of increasingly powerful electronic neuroprostheses. The recognition that any function performed by neurons and synapses can be done better by electronic chips will lead to an ongoing conversion of biological brain into machine mind. We will upload." https://lnkd.in/dP_jT6X View in LinkedIn

FAR BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION. “Once you have a machine that's intelligent enough to improve its own software and hardware...then there’s no limit to how smart it can become. It can add as much hardware as it wants, it can reprogram itself with much better algorithms, and then it rapidly goes far beyond human comprehension and human abilities.” (Prof Stuart Russell). https://lnkd.in/deP4Ami View in LinkedIn
